Animals I spotted on a hike in 2025

12/28/2025

I met a deer in between Mt Nabewari and Mt Tonodake - so cute!

This year’s animal sightings:

  • Deer (Mt Nabewari, Mt Oyama and probably others)
  • Raichou (Mt Jonen, Mt Yari, Mt Senjo)
  • Marmots (La Palette, Switzerland πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­)
  • A chamois (Grosser Mythen, Switzerland πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­)
  • A big snake on Mt Echigo-komagatake (not pictured 😬)
  • I got to see a kamoshika (or Japanese serow) twice but they ran away before I could get a photo πŸ₯²
