The animal was first spotted on March 18 at around 10 a.m. in a park along the former Yodo River in Miyakojima Ward, Osaka, and was still staying in the area as of after 5 p.m.
A visitor to the park said, “It’s quite far from Nara Park to here. I wonder how it got here. But it looks dangerous.”
The park is located about 2 kilometers from the busy Umeda district, and according to the city, there had been a series of deer sightings since March 21st in eastern areas such as Tsurumi Ward.
Officials believe it is highly likely that a deer from Nara Park crossed the Ikoma Mountains and entered Osaka. City personnel were also seen guiding the animal from a distance to prevent it from wandering onto major roads.
Osaka City is calling on the public not to approach the deer, warning that it is a wild animal and could pose a danger.
