While deer sightings continued to occur in Sapporo City, deer continued to stay in the yards of residential buildings on the 25th, and city officials and others took precautions.
In the garden of a residential building in Higashi-naeho, Higashi-ku, Sapporo, a male deer with a length of 1 to 1.5 meters was confirmed.
During the day, the deer lay in the shade of the trees and ate grass, then left the garden and returned.
After that, it moved again after 3 p.m., and according to the city, it crossed National Route 275 in front of them and ran up the bank, so it is believed that they headed for the grass near the Toyohira River.
In the vicinity of the site where the deer stayed, anesthesia guns were not used because there were roads with heavy traffic and commercial facilities, and city officials continued to be vigilant.
Prior to this, in Sapporo City, deer sightings were received one after another in Chuo Ward and Higashi Ward in the early morning of the 25th.
On the other hand, the Hokkaido University Botanical Garden, which was temporarily closed due to one deer wandering into the park on the 24th, was reopened on the 1th as it was confirmed that it was not in the park.
According to Sapporo City, it is possible that the deer that stayed in Higashi Ward and the deer that stayed in the botanical garden are the same individual due to their body size.
In addition, October and November is the breeding season for deer, and the range of activities of males is wider, so if you see a deer, respond calmly without approaching or making noise, and if you see it in a residential area, contact the city hall or the police.
