Abstract
A trap assembly for capturing small animals formed from a housing that encloses a jaw assembly for grasping the paw or leg of the animals. The jaw assembly is formed from a trap plate having an aperture and a resiliently biased arm that is movable from an open position to a closed position where it coacts with side edges of the plate aperture to form a pair of jaws for grasping the animal.
