This is going viral because it hilariously exposes how Koreans view the water deer as a common pest, while our Japanese neighbors are completely losing it over this 'mythical' creature, unaware it's globally endangered and thriving in Korea.
Okay, so imagine this: Japanese people are seeing Korea's infamous 'goraeni' (water deer) for the first time, and their reactions are literally sending me to the moon 💀. Like, they're asking 'Can I take one home?' and 'What IS this creature?!' And honestly, I get it. For real, Koreans don't even realize this, but these guys are globally endangered, with over 90% of the entire species chilling right here in Korea. But here? They're basically considered a pest animal (유해동물) because they're EVERYWHERE. So while Koreans are just like 'ugh, another goraeni in the road,' our Japanese neighbors are over here like 'NO WAY, this looks like a mythical creature with fangs!' They're calling it a 'tusked deer' (키바노로, kibanoro in Japanese) and thinking it's something out of a fantasy book. Some are even saying it looks like a 'vampire deer' from old books! The way they're confused if it wants to be strong or cute, smart or clueless – it's just too good. And those big ears and those little fangs? Adorable but also kinda terrifying? I'm screaming, this animal is living rent-free in their heads now. They're like 'I've never seen anything like it! It's not even in Japanese zoos!' The sheer shock and awe is just *chef's kiss*. They're obsessed with its 'vampire fangs' and big ears. This is literally the cutest thing I've seen all day, I need a plushie of this creature, no cap.

This just reminds me of seeing them on the road 💀 that's the real experience fr fr 😂
Goraeni are so high-strung, they literally get stressed out just from being moved... that's what I heard 😬
They clearly haven't heard its scream yet. And I pray they never do 😭
Someone send a few over to Japan, please 😭
