An animal trap includes an outer member, an inner member, a resilient member, a bottom portion, and a trigger. The outer member has a first lower end and a first upper end, and defines a first cavity. The inner member has a second lower end and a second upper end, and defines a second cavity. At least a portion of the inner member is positioned within the first cavity of the outer member. The inner member is slidably repositionable relative to the outer member between a cocked position and a deployed position. The resilient member is positioned to bias the inner member into the deployed position. The bottom portion is coupled to the first lower end of the outer member. At least one of the bottom portion and the first lower end of the outer member define a passage. The trigger assembly is positioned to selectively hold the inner member in the cocked position.

An improved animal trap comprising stationary 1 and moving frames 3 attached to support blocks 2, with torsion springs 4 that in the open position enable the trap to maintain a low profile mostly parallel to the ground, thereby eliminating the requirement of existing, commercially available traps that the animal walk beneath or through an unfamiliar object to be trapped. In the electronically triggered closed position, the frames form a complete enclosure around the animal, preventing its escape without injuring or immobilizing the animal. Magnetic or other attachments 8 to the perimeter of the moving frame hold the trap together in the closed position. The sides of the trap consist of soft textile material 5 instead of metal, reducing the risk of injury to the trapped animal. A transfer tunnel 23, attached from an opening in the side of the trap to a transfer cage 26, enables a quick and safe method of removing the animal for transport.

Methods and apparatuses are shown for selectively capturing a targeted animal that are directed to capturing an animal in a capture module having a one way capture mechanism and, using instructions executing in a controller, sensing the animal in an identification module and, responsive thereto, capturing an image of the animal, analyzing the captured image to identify whether the animal is a targeted animal, if the animal is the targeted animal, processing the animal, and releasing the animal. Additional examples involve performing chromatic or pattern analysis on the captured image, using the chromatic or patent analysis results, searching a database for machine recognized animal colors or patterns, generating a probabilistic assessment based on color or pattern of whether the animal in the identification module is the targeted animal, and generating a target determination indication based on the probabilistic assessment based on color or pattern. Processing the animal may include injecting the animal using a syringe.
