The neck includes a base, a plurality of first joints and a second joint. The base is disposed on the body. The first joints are pivotally connected to each other. The second joint is fixed to the head. The joint reels are disposed on the body. The joint driving wires are wound around the joint reels and connected to the first joints and the second joint. The joint driving mechanisms are disposed in the body and connected to the joint reels. The joint driving mechanisms drive the joint reels to rotate, the joint reels pull the joint driving wires, and the joint driving wires drive the first joints and the second joint to rotate. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A bionic animal comprising: a body; a head; a neck comprising a base, a plurality of first joints and a second joint, the base being disposed on the body, the plurality of first joints being pivotally connected to each other, the second joint being fixed to the head, one of the plurality of first joints being pivotally connected to the base, the second joint being pivotally connected to another one of the plurality of first joints; a plurality of joint reels disposed on the body; a plurality of joint driving wires wound around the plurality of joint reels and connected to the plurality of first joints and the second joint; and a plurality of joint driving mechanisms disposed in the body and connected to the plurality of joint reels; wherein the plurality of joint driving mechanisms drive the plurality of joint reels to rotate, the plurality of joint reels pull the plurality of joint driving wires, and the plurality of joint driving wires drive the plurality of first joints and the second joint to rotate. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The bionic animal of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of first joints is triangular. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The bionic animal of claim 1, wherein two extending portions extend from two sides of each of the plurality of first joints, and the joint driving wire is fixed to the two extending portions. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The bionic animal of claim 1, wherein two sides of each of the plurality of first joints have two inclined restraining surfaces, and a bottom of one of the plurality of first joints cooperates with the two inclined restraining surfaces of another one of the plurality of first joints to restrain a rotation angle of the first joint. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The bionic animal of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of joint driving mechanisms comprises a joint motor, a coupling, a transmission shaft, an oil seal and a bearing, the coupling is connected to the joint motor, the transmission shaft is connected to the coupling and the joint reel, and the oil seal and the bearing are sleeved on the transmission shaft. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The bionic animal of claim 1, further comprising a neck driving mechanism disposed in the body and connected to the base, wherein the neck driving mechanism drives the base to rotate to drive the head to rotate. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The bionic animal of claim 6, wherein the plurality of first joints and the second joint rotate around a first axis, the head rotates around a second axis, and the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The bionic animal of claim 6, wherein the neck driving mechanism comprises a rotating shaft, a first gear, a second gear and a neck motor, the first gear is connected to the neck motor, the second gear meshes with the first gear, and the rotating shaft is connected to the second gear and the base. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The bionic animal of claim 1, further comprising: a buttock pivotally connected to the body; a buttock reel disposed on the body; a buttock driving wire wound around the buttock reel and connected to the buttock; and a buttock driving mechanism disposed in the body and connected to the buttock reel; wherein the buttock driving mechanism drives the buttock reel to rotate, the buttock reel pull the buttock driving wire, and the buttock driving wire drives the buttock to rotate. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The bionic animal of claim 9, further comprising a propeller disposed in the buttock, wherein the buttock has an opening and at least one slot, and the propeller is exposed in the opening; wherein, when the propeller rotates in water, water flows into or out of the buttock through the at least one slot. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The bionic animal of claim 1, further comprising two feet pivotally connected to two sides of the body, wherein the two feet are bent toward each other. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The bionic animal of claim 1, further comprising three distance sensors disposed in the body, wherein positions of the three distance sensors correspond to front, left and right sides of the bionic animal respectively.
