Trapping techniques are methods used to capture animals for various purposes, such as research, pest control, or wildlife management. Common types of traps include live traps, which capture animals without harming them, and kill traps, which are designed to quickly and humanely kill the target animal. These techniques require knowledge of animal behavior and local regulations to ensure ethical and effective trapping. Different trapping methods can be tailored to specific species or environments. For example, scent lures may be used to attract animals to a trap, while camouflage can help conceal the trap from wary creatures. Proper placement and monitoring of traps are essential for success and to minimize unintended captures.
