A small town in Japan has deployed red-eyed "Monster Wolf" robots to scare away wild bears roaming its streets.
The town of Takikawa, on the northern island of Hokkaido, purchased two wolf robots from maker Ohta Seiki after hungry bears started wandering around the town's neighborhoods in September.
The so-called "Monster Wolf" is propped up on a stand and has bared-teeth and glowing red eyes. It also has built-in motion detectors that, when activated, cause the robots to flash its eyes and emit wolfish-like howls.

City officials believe the bears have become more active recently as they're looking for food before going into hibernation later this month.
However, this year's lack of acorns and nuts has prompted the bears to scavenge for food in towns instead.
