Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wildlife feeding technology, specifically to an automatic wildlife feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Wildlife reserves are protected areas established within typical natural zones to protect and develop natural species, communities, and ecosystems. These areas are selected based on the need for ecosystem and biodiversity conservation, and sometimes include sites with minimal human disturbance or composed of natural secondary vegetation that can be restored to resemble native vegetation and fauna with minimal management.

[0003] Wild animals forage, live, and reproduce within protected areas. Sometimes, under special circumstances, it is necessary to feed them. For example, when wild animals are temporarily unable to forage on their own due to injury or illness, they can be fed in appropriate amounts to provide necessary nutritional support and help them recover. After extreme weather or natural disasters (such as severe cold, drought, floods, etc.), when the food sources of wild animals may be affected, appropriate feeding can alleviate their survival pressure. In scientific research or wildlife conservation projects, it may be necessary to feed them sometimes in order to monitor, study, or protect specific species.

[0004] Therefore, to meet practical needs, an automatic feeding device for wild animals is provided. Summary of the Invention
