摘要

A trap for capturing a plurality of animals is provided. The trap can comprise an enclosure having an opening through which the at least one animal can pass to enter the enclosure. A gate, movable between an open position and a closed position, is positioned therein the at least one opening and can be selectively moved from the open position to the closed position when desired. Methods are also provided for capturing at least one animal by providing a trap with a gate, positioning the gate in an open position, monitoring the trap until at least one animal has entered the trap, and remotely triggering the gate to move from the open position to a closed position.

1. A trapping system for capturing at least one wild animal, comprising:
an enclosure having at least one portion that is movable between an open position that permits passage of at least one wild animal into the enclosure and a closed position that restricts passage of at least one wild animal out of the enclosure; at least one transmitter configured to transmit a signal; a motion sensor in communication with a first transmitter of the at least one transmitter, wherein the motion-sensor is configured to detect the presence of at least one wild animal within the enclosure and to activate the first transmitter to transmit a signal upon such detection of at least one wild animal within the enclosure; a control mechanism configured to receive a signal from the at least one transmitter; a release mechanism in communication with the control mechanism and configured to effect movement of the at least one portion of the enclosure from the open position to the closed position in response to receipt of the signal by the control mechanism.
