You’ve no doubt heard of scarecrows. You know, the fake people setup around farms to scare away crows? They’re everywhere in today’s world, especially in October, from movies to halloween costumes. They aren’t actually all that scary, and I’m willing to bet most crows don’t really care about them anymore. Put one of these Japanese Robot Wolves in a farm, though, and you’ll give anyone who comes near some serious creeps.
These robot wolves, like scarecrows, were initially designed to keep wildlife away from farms, but, with a recent uptick attacks across Japan, the town of Takikawa has been using these manmade monsters to deter bears.
The look on the robots face is… pure evil. Plus the noises that it makes and the way that it moves, it’s all straight out of my nightmares. I think we should install these things around the United States just to keep people from going where they aren’t supposed to. I think even the most hardcore burglars would be a good bit freaked out if they saw that coming at them.
Below are some more clips of the mechanic monster spooking some wildlife. The robot uses infrared sensors to sense movement, triggered only when it knows there’s something nearby. Then, once it’s triggered, it makes horrific noises, flashes blinding lights, and, of course, moves around to mimic a real wolf.
