PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a problem that since a conventional capturing device employs a commercial high-power battery as a power source, there is need for recharging (replacing) the battery at least one time during an animal capturing season, and it is hard to carry only a battery for recharging.SOLUTION: The wild animal capturing device 1 includes capturing equipment 2 for capturing wild animals, and a capturing mechanism 3 provided in the capturing equipment 2. The device is provided with: an air tank 4 for driving the capturing mechanism 3 and a low-power device 7 using a dry cell or rechargeable dry cell as a power source, and for supplying electric power to a control part 6 for operating the air tank 4 and the whole mechanism.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】従来の捕獲装置は、電力源として市販の大出力のバッテリーを用いていたので、捕獲時期の1シーズン中に少なくとも1回は充電(交換)しなければならない点、充電のためにバッテリーだけを持ち運ぶのが困難である点、を解消する。【解決手段】野生動物捕獲装置1は、野生動物を捕獲する捕獲設備2と、この捕獲設備2に設けた捕獲機構3とを備え、捕獲機構3を駆動させるためのエアボンベ4と、このエアボンベ4及び全体を作動させるための制御部6に電力を供給する乾電池又は充電式の乾電池を電力源とする低電力装置7と、を備える。【選択図】図1
