Non injurious live animal trap as seen on the ABC New Inventors 2011... enjoy:
While the spider, is hilarious; funniest of all was the native 'mouse' which got 'caught' at least 50-60 times over the period of five days.
Just like the 24 Taronga Zoo mice on the ABC New Inventors in 2011 when the mice no sooner fell through the trapdoor and went down the slide onto the wood shavings in a large glass tank; than they immediately ran back up the tubes and did it again and again. With tears being shed, it was mainly due to a certain presenter's glasses repeatedly fogging up, the programmers had no choice but request the trap be turned off so they could continue taping the episode.
Back in about 2004: a native marsupial mouse (big ears, very long pointy tail, 50% bigger than the average field mouse) would no sooner fall 18" into the 1" mesh cage than he immediately clambered up the sides of the trap and back onto the trapdoor in order to play with an infrared beam it had no ability to see.
Having discovered it could safely climb on the feed trays after falling through 4-5 times; it was when the crafty critter accidentally broke the beam with its tail and the 40" long x 10" wide trapdoor opened and closed 90 degrees in less than half a second, the penny finally dropped.
Apart from jumping over the beam dozens of times... that its tail (which the 2mm IR beam 2" above the trapdoor could easily detect) was always carried aloft whenever he was on the move: physically crawling under the beam was easier said than done. It took three nights of about twenty tries involving a half dozen goes of getting flat on his belly and wiggling under the beam with his feet out wide that old mate 'Micky' finally realised his tail was the problem.
Even funnier, 3-4 times a night, and as curious as curious can possibly be -- the cheeky little devil was up for anything... after locating the emitter and receiver, he would walk along the beam to the center of the trapdoor before turning 90 degrees away from the beam; then, with a mischievous grin, and a range of facial expressions to die for, he would casually look over his shoulder and engage in the millimetre x millimetre process of precisely locating the beam in order to activate the trapdoor by flicking it with the very tip of his outstretched tail.
After ten and a dozen joyrides of varying degrees of complexity and precision: the grand finale for the night, was always a case of running at top speed and launching himself through the beam in an effort to try to reach the other end of the device 20" away. Try as he did... that the birds had no hope, and a mouse is not a bird; 'Mick' was never successful.
As unimpressed, if not plainly disgusted were the cats and dogs; that none could ever be persuaded into the trap for a second go, no animals harmed in the making of this video.
