A " Robobear " is a fake bear on top of a remote-controlled wheeled platform intended to simulate a charging bear.

The Robobear is designed to encourage people to be prepared for bear encounters.

Participants are given a canister of fake bear spray and told to turn and spray the predator.

Bear spray is an effective deterrent in an aggressive bear encounter, a Wyoming official says.
