A snare is used for trapping or capturing wild animals. This snare is made of finely skinned bamboo sticks delicately tied with jute ropes. The bamboo sticks are tied together in L-Shape. Jute threads are delicately wrapped around the surface of the trap. At both the ends of the bamboo stick, the threads are used to tie together in a knot. Multiple traps of similar shape are prepared and tied together and placed in the field where rabbits frequently graze. These traps are normally used around the agricultural and vegetable farms.
