It’s been designed to keep wild boar away from rice and chestnut crops, and was deployed on a trial basis near Kisarazu City in Japan’s eastern Chiba prefecture last July.

When it detects an approaching animal, its eyes light up and it starts to howl, Asahi TV says. Its manufacturers say the robot wolf uses solar-rechargeable batteries and has a range of howl noises so that animal threats don’t get used to it.

(July 2017′s original article in Asahi Shimbun clarifies that the wolf does not walk around and that its name in Japan is still just ‘Super Monster Wolf’ in English. It also offers a video demonstration of the wolf’s skills.)

Look at this thing!
