10 places where the usual pigeons are replaced by exotic animals
Just as we are used to a huge number of pigeons on our streets, residents of other countries are used to their own "beggars". Who would have thought that in Thailand, a dozen monkeys can suddenly run up to you, and in the town of Nara in Japan, people quietly coexist with herds of deer?
Here are a dozen amazing places where "begging pigeons"live completely unusual for us.

Anyone who has ever been to Thailand is 100% likely to have met a wild monkey there. After all, in this country, these exotic creatures can be found anywhere: they live not only in the jungle, but even on the beaches, in parks, calmly walk around the city.

On the island of Tashirojima in Japan, a very small number of people live, but hundreds of cats roam. The inhabitants of the island feed the animals with fish and treat them with sympathy, but they are not kept in the house. And why, if every morning you can pick up a new friend for the day.

The island of Kauai is a paradise for chickens. It is forbidden to hunt them, except in cases when they themselves wander into private territory. Birds roam freely everywhere: chickens lead or hatch their offspring, and roosters are constantly fighting.

This island is mainly famous for the penguin colony, which is home to approximately 5,000 winged inhabitants. However, it can also boast of a variety of flora and fauna in general. This island is also home to such wild Australian animals as kangaroos, for example.
Deer City, Japan (© Oliver Foerstner / shutterstock)
The Japanese town of Nara is literally captured by deer: according to approximate estimates, more than 1,200 individuals live there. In fact, most of them live in the park, but their walks through the streets of the city are not fiction. Some individuals may well go outside the park and molest passers-by, begging for treats. Moreover, these cute hooligans are not afraid of people so much that they can even persistently push them to the cracker machines themselves.
