Japan's Monster Wolf robot, complete with menacing roar and glowing red eyes, is being deployed more widely in a bid to keep bears in the mountains.

Bear scare: ‘monster wolf’ robots protect Japanese towns from hungry marauding bruins We first reported on Japan’s slightly bizarre “Monster Wolf” robot wolf a couple of years ago. The odd-looking contraption — complete with glowing red eyes and protruding fangs — was first installed on the outskirts of a town in the northern island of Hokkaido to frighten away bears that were entering the community in search of food.

As you can see from the video above, the solar-powered Monster Wolf emits a menacing roar if it detects a nearby bear. It also has a set of flashing LED lights on its tail, and can move its head to appear more real. With those glowing red eyes, coming across the robot in the night could be just as terrifying for humans, though hopefully by now the local townsfolk are well aware of the locations of the wolf robots .
