Japan park issues feeding tips after deer nibble tourists

TOKYO - Faced with a growing number of injuries from deer bites, authorities in Japan's Nara Park have issued tips on feeding the hundreds of animals that attract tourists from around the world.

The park in Japan's capital is home to more than 1,000 deer, which can be found roaming the streets in search of special crackers offered by tourists.

But their cute and calm demeanor can be deceptive and tourists sometimes find themselves surrounded by aggressive animals when they try to feed them.
