With the development of wearable technology and Internet of Things industry, the field of wildlife tracking was undergoing innovative progress. In this paper, the development of tracking technology was reviewed comprehensively, wildlife tracking system based on satellite positioning and mobile communication technology was designed and realized. According to those signals such as location, acceleration and signal intensity, which was collected by tracking devices installed on animals, preliminary research of system energy saving mechanism and animal behavior recognition were carried out. In addition, the empirical test and system improvement were discussed. This proposed method for monitoring wildlife short-time movement and behavior has great significance for species ecology research.
