Ring of thorns
With the old enclosure removed, we carry out the very heavy cage that needs four people, one at each corner. The plan for the new trap is create a very large ring of bushes and thorns with a cage at its centre. Extending from this central cage is the trap, which looks very much like the cage, but this has an opening at either end and a pressure trigger that drops a heavy gate at each end, trapping the approaching animal. The surrounding camelthorn prevents the leopard from entering at any other point. So how do we trick the leopard into entering? A goat. We don't have it today, but the plan is to chain a goat in the central cage. The leopard won't get to it but hopefully the temptation will bring it into the trap.
