ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A trap adapted for use in the live capture of burrowing animals in a subterranean environment, the invention comprises an elongated body open at one end to allow entry of the animal, the body being formed of a continuous upper roof portion and a grill-like lower floor portion. The grill-like structure of the floor portion is adapted to be embedded in the earthen floor of the tunnel of an animal which is to be trapped, thereby providing an inducement to a tunnelling animal to enter the enclosing body of the trap due to the provision of a natural earthen floor within the trap. A spring-actuated gate is caused to close the open end of the trap body on contact by the animal with a padded trigger plate located at the opposite end of the trap, displacement of the trigger plate resulting in dislodgement of a trigger rod from a "set" position relative to the spring-actuated gate.
