I know there are spiders the size of a human head, but
what kind of beasts reside in Japan exclusive to the islands?
Poisonous snakes, insects, small furry mammals, swooping birds.
With the limited size of space available to the average homeowner, do many people have large pets?
I ask this question a lot because wildlife is virtually nonexistant in the cities, except for big crows that claw through the trash. Human influence and expansion have really played a toll on their wildlife. At one point there used to be bears, but not anymore.
Some of the common critters you'll find in the country include- cranes, small birds, and sometimes monkeys (in certain places), and frogs. Insects seem to do pretty well and you can commonly find Praying-Mantis, huge walking sticks, and cicadaes (sp?)
Yes, people have tiny dogs, which they love to dress up in clothes.
