[0003] Currently used wildlife detection devices are generally divided into two types: one is a fixed frame for detection, and the other is a wildlife detection vehicle that moves and detects wildlife by means of tracks set under the camera. However, due to the complex environment in the wild, the detection vehicle often encounters uneven ground and steep slopes during movement. During movement, the tracks and drive wheels are shaken, which can cause the tracks to detach from the drive wheels, resulting in damage to the detection vehicle and making it unable to move. The practical effect is still lacking. There is an urgent need for a wildlife monitoring device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
