Animal trapping device

In combination with a seawall having a substantially planar upper surface and two opposing side edges, wherein the improvement related to trapping animals, such as iguanas, comprises

• a base having a first end, a second end opposing the first end, two opposing sides, a substantially planar lower surface spanning from the first and second ends of the base and directly coupled to the substantially planar upper surface of the seawall, and an upper surface opposing the lower surface of the base;
• a wire mesh cage assembly coupled to the two opposing sides of the base and having a first end with a perimeter edge and a second end with an outside perimeter edge and opposing the first end of the cage assembly;
• and
• a first wire mesh entrance with a first end coupled around and beginning from the perimeter edge of the first end of the wire mesh cage assembly and defining an enclosed entrance opening around the perimeter edge of the first end of the wire mesh cage assembly, a second free end elevated above the upper surface of the base and defining an exit aperture, of a wire mesh configuration spanning from the first end of the first wire mesh entrance to the second free end of the first wire mesh entrance, and of a conical shape defining an enclosed entrance channel spanning from the enclosed entrance opening to the exit aperture of the first wire mesh entrance, the upper surface of the base, the wire mesh cage assembly, and the first wire mesh entrance defining an animal retention zone and the exit aperture of the first wire mesh entrance disposed within the animal retention zone.

An animal trapping device comprising:

• a base having a first end, a second end opposing the first end, two opposing sides, a lower surface spanning from the first and second ends of the base, and an upper surface opposing the lower surface of the base and defining a reservoir thereon that is operably configured to house and retain a liquid therein;
• a wire mesh cage assembly coupled to the two opposing sides of the base and having a first end and a second end opposing the first end of the cage assembly;
• an automatic liquid feeder container housing a liquid therein and disposed proximal to the reservoir and operably configured to continuously deliver the liquid to the reservoir;
• a first wire mesh entrance with a first end coupled to the first end of the wire mesh cage assembly and defining an enclosed entrance, a second free end elevated above the upper surface of the base and defining an exit aperture, and of a conical shape defining an enclosed entrance channel spanning from the enclosed entrance opening to the exit aperture of the first wire mesh entrance;
• and
• a second wire mesh entrance with a first end coupled to the second end of the wire mesh cage assembly and defining an enclosed entrance opening, a second free end elevated above the upper surface of the base and defining an exit aperture, and of a conical shape defining an enclosed entrance channel spanning from the enclosed entrance opening to the exit aperture of the second wire mesh entrance, the upper surface of the base, the wire mesh cage assembly, and the first and second wire mesh entrances defining an animal retention zone and the exit apertures of the first and second wire mesh entrances facing one another, each disposed within the animal retention zone, and concentrically aligned with one another and without obstruction disposed between the exit apertures and within the animal retention zone.
