ABSTRACT:
An animal toss trap includes an enclosure having openings for animal entry therethrough. A generally elongated gate displaced from these openings and positioned within the enclosure presents an animal capture compartment therebeyond. In a normal gate position, the horizontally disposed spikes project from one end of the gate towards a wall of the enclosure so as to present a means of entry or path into the animal capture compartment. An animal on initial progression through this path pushes against the spike tips causing the gate to swing in response thereto. During subsequent animal movement the discomfort of the spiked tips upon the side of the animal further urges the animal through the forward path and into the capture compartment. The gate, being spring biased, returns to a normal position after the above animal entry. A lock, released by an animal upon entry into the path is provided to prevent the gate from being opened by a previously captured animal.
