If you're having bear problems, I feel bad for you, son. I've got 99 problems...

But a robotic-wolf-demon-created-to-scare-bears-away ain't one.

Let's talk about Japan. Beautiful country. Wonderful people. But they've got a bit of a penchant for solving all of their problems with robots, which can be unnerving. And sometimes downright creepy.

Facing the worst streak of wild bear attacks in five years, Japanese farmers are getting creative about keeping the ominous omnivores from sinking their teeth into crops and human limbs. One company, Ohta Seiki, took it to the next level, creating what they call "Monster-Wolf."
