Cane toad trap winner selected

The final winner has been announced in the Cane Toad trap competition. For more details see http://www.ipe.nt.gov.au/haveyoursay/canetoadtrap/ "The winning trap design is based on a pit-fall style box trap. Ramps provide easy access to the top of the trap with a series of trap doors in the top of the box. Approximately 50% of the top surface is trap-door space. The light source on vertical panel reflects light out over the trap top. The combination of reflected light across the trap surface and such a large area by which the toads could enter the trap, made this a winning design with the highest number of captures and the only trap not to allow escapees.
