Nara is known for its population of friendly sacred deer who freely roam between the ancient capital's temples and shrines, always on the lookout for deer crackers. We have chosen some of our favorite hilarious photos of these adorable, derpy critters. From tough, macho deer to those who just want a nap, you can almost read their thoughts!
