An animal trap suited for trapping rodents comprising an elongated container having a curved bottom surface and a vertically translatable gate for selectively enclosing an opening in one end of the container after the animal has entered the trap. When set, the trap rests on one end of the bottom surface by gravity with the gate held elevated from the container to permit an animal to enter the trap. When the animal travels toward the opposite end of the container toward the bait remote from the opening, the weight of the animal causes the container to rotate elevating the open end of the container, releasing the gate thereby closing the opening to the container and trapping the animal therein. The gate remains closed by gravity acting downward thereon.
