According to Japan's Fuji TV reported on November 4, in recent years, a foreign deer creature - small chamois in the Japanese capital circle has multiplied in large quantities, the total number has exceeded 44,000, not only harming crops, but also posing a threat to road traffic.
According to the report, the small chamois is not a native species in Japan, but after escaping from a zoo in Chiba Prefecture, a group of small chamois began to breed in large numbers in the local area, with a total of more than 44,000 heads, and their range of activities has expanded from the Banso Peninsula to Kashiwa City near Tokyo.
Local residents say that the little chamois barks like dogs and likes to eat sweet potato leaves, resulting in sweet potatoes in the field not growing up, causing losses of more than 1.2 million yen (about 68,000 yuan) a year. In order to control the size of the population, Chiba Prefecture hunts more than 5,000 chamois every year, but it still cannot keep up with the breeding rate of the chamois population.
