...Nature in Yakushima

Monkeys and deers. Deers on the island of Yakushima are quite rare but when i was there, there seemed to be loads and they were quite happy with the tourists taking photos of them and getting quite close. The monkeys cause a lot of problems on the island with eating vegetation and breaking fences. They are trying to be controlled with the use of electric fences in certain areas, but the fences aren't very high so it looks like the monkeys can just jump from tree to tree and easily clear the fences. The deers and monkeys seem to co-exist happily with each other.
