Even when animal traps are humane, it seems pretty obvious that animals wouldn't want to get caught. But sometimes, there are oddballs that love getting trapped. Here's what we know about what can make some animals so darn trap happy.

"We keep giving them food in this box, and they keep going into the box! Weird!"
animals: "mmmm last time I went into that box I got food and nothing bad happened besides some weirdo touched me a little... mmm am I hungry enough to risk it again? mmmm I guess so" *goes into trap again*

Some science is a practice in educated ignorance.
Obviously you have never tried trapping animals.
Yea it really doesn't seem like anyone would need a brain bigger than mine (this is a self-loathing joke) in order to figure this one out
I'm starting to wonder if this is a viable method to quickly domesticate a species. Make a "trap", and see which ones willingly enter.
Humans. Can of Pringles and we’ll all be trapped!
That already exists..its called "American Politics". 8/

So, we create the Trojan Horse for our future overlords to use against us?
I feel like I should oppose this, but given we seem determined to bring about our own extinction anyway, why not!?!?
That would be viable because I would give up on my principles and get trapped to be pampered by a more intelligent species lol
I had some stray cats like that, I kept getting ones I already TNR'd.
Fascinating, love the puns.
His name was "Phteven"
Plenty of humans enjoy getting trapped too. Plenty of humans also keep falling for the same tricks again and again, while others know easily to avoid them. There's even lots who are slow to learn, but who'll figure things out eventually. I believe it'll probably be a combination of general intelligence differences between species; differing lifestyles; trap types used; the quality of the experience for the animal; and different individual personality traits (which may or may not be more common again between different species).
Thank you 🙏
I was taught in my animal psychology class in undergrad that trap-happy animals may be encouraged to be in the trap due to being safer in the trap than outside, in addition to being reliably fed via the trap. This was only talking about baited traps and traps that kept the target species inside safe from predators that might get to it before the researchers, but I think it's worth noting.
That's a lot more reasonable than my initial thought, "these trap happy animals are just stupid compared to their peers"
Yea this was particularly common when live trapping small mammals (rodents)
Yeah before you think what we are doing to animals is cruel, consider what their lives are like already.
@@GeneralOink we tagged the caught mice by cutting a patch of hair. some had 3 patches already cut when we examined the traps by week's end XD
So… prison? Cuz there are inmates that follow that same logic
"100 Fish and Philip" sounds like a great name for an indie band

They get a food reward and just have to wait a little while to get free... Basically, they're pulling the equivalent of sitting through a talk about a timeshare to get tickets to Disneyworld.
This is really the perfect way to describe it 😅

I'm sorry, the delivery from 200 fish to actually 100 fish + Phillip is hilarious
Fish: Trap me harder daddy!
Marine biologist: What.
Fish: What?
Heckle Fish LMAO
Oh no Mr. Scientist, I'm stuck in the trap again
OwO What are doing step fish UwU
@@helonelunede5217😂😂😂
Oof 💀
I would guess there's a difference between 'trap happy' and 'trap prone'. Some animals probably learn to seek the traps out due to vague benefits. Others are just bad at falling for the trap again and again.
anyone that owns guppies understands the confusion these researchers felt
Seriously! Platies and swordtails are a pain to catch, guppies are a pain not to catch!
@@conlon4332 nope, I have more of a problem when trying to vacuum up the gravel
@@davidconner-shover51 try feeding your fish in a breeder mesh or cup I trained mine to swim into one to eat so when I need to vacuum the gravel or catch them for any reason I put the mesh in and tap the side of the tank to let the fish know its food time once they are all in the mesh I raise it so the top edge clears the water surface feed them and do what i need to do
Sometimes when caughing birds for banding them, you get an pygmy owl or a hawk that is trapped when entangled for getting in the net to kill and eat another bird already entangled there, sometimes when liberated, these owls learn that being trapped is non-lethal and they attack again and again those easy tangled songbirds, "knowing" that they will later be desentangled from the net by someone.
Dang! That has got to be frustrating for the scientists who want to study songbirds!
@@teresaellis7062 Generally speaking you're supposed to monitor those nets closely because LOTS of animals will eat the trapped birds.
Seems like you crossed "caught" with "catching" to get "caughing" and I only point it out because it's 100% something I would do. Perfect comment. No notes.
@@sumgirl720 such a kind correction, please enjoy some internet points
Ok the idea of a fish named Philip getting trapped repeatedly and completely screwing up scientific research is deeply hilarious, like imagine a scientist counting fish and they they stop and are all like “goddammit Phil we talked about this”
It makes me wonder if perhaps it’s FREAKING TERRIFYING being a fish, and a break from fearing assault from all sides is worth the trauma of being handled at the end of it?
The Texas State Aquarium has a petting tank in which are kept stingrays and dogfish sharks. the sides of the tank are not perpendicular to its bottom, but slope up at about 75 degrees. All of the sharks stayed in the middle of the pool, out of reach of visitors. some of the rays came close to the edges, some avoided it. I was petting one of the rays for a couple of minutes, then decided to move on. as i stood up, the ray I hd been petting hurled itself up the slope so it was about halfway out of the water, with a lot of splashing. It was obvious he or she wanted more contact which is pretty impressive for an animal with no facial expressions and a limited range of movements..
i always figured petting must feel good for animals that cant scratch themselves like this. like surely they gotta get itchy right? that stingray must’ve been enjoying it lol
I’ve been told by some people in the field that, nobody wants to admit it, but it’s almost certain that some animals do things specifically to get a rise out of human observers.
Isn't the answer quite simple? Some animals find said traps more fun than others. Therefore re-visit a fun experience. You've essentially created a roller coaster.
The adrenaline junkies of other animals?
This would be my assumption to, we know humans just like it, so why shouldn't we expect to see it elsewhere? You do need to have reliable controls to make a solid case for it, though. However, in this video, they do NOT do that. While some of the animals mentioned in the studies cited have some actual data behind the conclusion that it's not an individual thing, I cannot stress enough how much "sometimes they don't want to be caught for a little while" is NOT data that justifies the conclusion of them NEVER wanting to get caught.
That's the same thing as saying that because PRINCESS PEACH sometimes wants to race go karts, that she NEVER wants to get kidnapped on purpose. Like they sincerely didn't consider the possibility that maybe sometimes Phillip just isn't in the mood.
Anybody ever floated the idea that these animals might just be stupid?
Can't be. Researchers are supposed to be smart.
😂
Stupid for finding food and a safe place from predators?
@@Ragnarok540but not all of the same species get trapped all the time lol
Yes, lower than average intelligence has been considered. Other explanations include sensory traits, where these particular animals enjoy the physical sensation of entering the trap more than normal animals do, in a way somewhat analogous to how a small percentage of humans are autistic, and have very strong sensory preferences. The video also mentioned personality traits, but there's also things like abnormal food drives, which makes them more likely to pursue food in a unique location where they had found it than other individuals would.
We have a skunk we keep catching on our property in a trap for capturing and relocating raccoons and possums. We... really don't want to catch the skunk.
It's been ~25 years so I don't remember the specifics, but in my undergraduate Mammalogy class we kept catching the same white-footed mouse (or perhaps deer mouse) in the our population surveys. We caught that same mouse five or six times!
"Drive that damn mouse to the field across the river" Catches very wet mouse the next day.
That's like Bob constantly getting himself picked up by aliens because he liked the probing 😅

"Why do humans keep catching me and my friends, and then letting us go? Phil et al. have put forth several hypotheses, but we may never know what is going on in the heads of those humans, since they can't tell us."
Catch me if you can.. teehee
This reminds me of a similar experience. I was doing TNR, which is trap neuter release, on stray cats. A few of the cats tended to return to the trap even though they've already been neutered and re-released. Of course the moment you find them you re-release them again because they don't need to be trapped and neutered. I always wondered whether it was the smartest or the dumbest animals that were constantly getting retrapped. They either were dumb and forgot there was a trap, or they were very smart and realized that they just simply get released every single time and quickly so it's a free meal without too much inconvenience.
Also, several of the cats never got trapped even once. Some of them appeared to figure out it was a trap before they even got into it. I'd argue those are the smart ones, but at the same time they could just be simply skittish.
I have a couple of stories about trap happy individuals. One of my favorites was when I was going down a trap line when one of the individual’s tag numbers sounded familiar. I thought maybe I had just caught her the night before or something. I looked back at in my notebook to see when I last caught her. I processed her earlier that morning. She had gone maybe 10m before going into another trap, so we ended up catching the same individual twice in one night/morning
People in white coats like handling and studying me. They expect me to try to flee but I don't. I like the people in white coats.
We shouldn't kink shame fish! Let them be happy 😂
Was thinking similar
I remember when I was a teenager, I trapped for fur so that I could buy Christmas gifts. There was a neighbor's dog that would put her foot in my fox traps to get the bait. She would wait for me to free her at sunrise. She did that at least 10 times one season.
I was working on French Island, Victoria for a few days, and we went past some cage traps put out for cats baited with KFC. Site manager said that there was a bandicoot that kept getting trapped in the same spot almost every other day (got to see it once!) Figured it was because it was a safe spot to stay overnight from predators, and it was just going to be let out the next day anyway by the trappers. Plus, free fried chicken!
Not me wearing yoga pants and pretending to be asleep so that aliens abduct me

Strange fetish🤨
The delivery for that "hooked on the experience" pun was fantastic 😂
Reminds me of Blake over on PBS Eons
Simplest explanation seems the best. You reward them for certain behaviors, the behavior increases. You're giving them food and safety, and some of them see the reward instead of the trap.
surprised the daily habits of the animal aren't being considered (or at least mentioned), if you're putting the trap smack in the middle of hypothetical Philip's daily commute route to his favourite coral patch that he swims every morning after waking up in his favourite rock crevice then yeah he's going to get trapped way more often than other fish who just meandered in during foraging hours lol

This video is really about scientist inclination to prescribe motive to animal bahaviou based on what they can imagine or suppose rather than prove. It seems to tacitly suggest the methodology gor these sorts of investigations, and the processing and onward disemination of them, is fundamentally flawed.
Dammit, Phil.
When I was young, my family lived in an apartment complex next to a small pond. Every day in the summer, my younger brother would go out to the pond and cast his fishing rod. Every day, he seemed to catch the same fish (it already had small holes in its lips from his previous days). My brother would gently take it off the hook, throw it back in the pond, then tell the fish that he'd be back again the next day.
But maybe this time I will actually meet the lonely housewives in my area...

Tbh, getting free food in exchange for spending a bit in a cage doesn't sound that bag
Definition of work...
We found the statistical anomally adn should stop counting him
What if some of them just like it?
It’s like drunks that do some small thing that gets them tossed in the jail for a night because they don’t want to go home to be yelled at by the wife. Otis from Andy Griffith Show.
Oh, no... I got caught... Oh, no...
Some are stupider, or if the trap has bait, more food motivated than average. Individuals who are randomly less sensitive to certain stresses might not be discouraged from going into bait traps again. I mean, hey, you got a snack and got out alive ... I'm just saying: there are worse ways to make a living. Simple random variation between individuals could be all it is, sometimes, with different spices having different distributions. It could also be life cycle based: each individual goes through a phase that makes them relatively more trap happy. I think you really need to distinguish between traps with bait, or something to entice the animal, and those without.

Might have been a newt or salamander. Some animals share their burrow with unlikely neighbors just cause 🤷🏾♂️
That was strange...

@@conanhighwoods4304 At the right.
the average fish population in the coral reef being 200 factoid is actualy just statistical error. average fish population is 100. fish phillip, who likes getting trapped over and over, is outlier adn should not have been counted
This "trap happiness" is a dumb idea!
the ones that get caught are dumb and they get caught again because they weren't eaten!
Not all of them get smarter...
(like people...)
I remember when I was a kid on a fishing trip for Boy Scouts there was a fish we called "Jeffrey the Idiot Fish" because he got caught like 8 times that day
hey. what happen with you guys?
I never get trapped
Stupid fish doing stupid things. Not just confined to land creatures!!
I bet people that fish in the same area year after year might get repeat customers too. I'm sure someone has experienced hook-"happy" fish[?].
Nearby they have a small pond filled with farmed catfish.. that people pay to fish in. Boring as all get out to me... You know you are gonna catch a catfish... And the water's so shallow you can literally see every fish. 🙄
So do I 😏
The Spider Georg of getting trapped
This channel must have ran out of sponsors.
Unrelated to the video but to the ad, i think training on data without the owners consenting isnt a good thing actually
And scishow ik yallve been working with brilliant for a long time now and the ad is probably their script and most ppl probably skip the sponsored segment, but prompting content theft and unconsented data collection is genuinely not something id like to see from an scientific educational channel
“IT’S A TRAP”
Interrupting your video with a product, makes us hate the product. Put it back at the end where it's easier to skip, please, this is getting ridiculous.
Spoungebob did an episode on this.
I know this may sound kind of silly, but...is it possible that at least SOME animals might have something akin to kinks? As in, they actively seek out certain types of traps because they find being in them enjoyable? I only mention this because more and more we keep finding that behaviors we all used to think were uniquely human...turn out to crop up all over the animal kingdom. So what rules out "trap-play" being one of those?
Yeah. Made up, what researchers trap fish....to count them? My marine biology buddy used to trap things..... for dinner.
But gee, fish get bored too. Do a study on birds in Arizona...that apparently like to fly, land on highways just before the car drives over them....then fly off after the car passes over.
@3:47 I can understand being seasonally trap happy warranting a distinction with always being trap happy, but it still seems like not being 100% consistent in behavioral response is not reason to not call something a "personality trait." If my response to getting hot is to be irritated but it only happens in summer, or I only feel like going out to eat often in phases(randomly), those are still "personality traits." Response to the environment is an aspect of personality and we also call the change of behavior in phases or moods "personality," at least colloquially(if this isn't how it's done in psych science someone can correct me). If someone is prone to mood swings, both the swings and that proneness are things we think of as part of their personality.
I have to admit, I wish they'd made a spiders george reference.
It’s an interesting problem, and likely a modern one. As far as I’m aware humans didn’t do any sort of catch and release at any sort of scale until very recently. So animals that got caught in traps would just get killed off and be weeded out by natural selection.
Some critters just ain’t right bright as they say in the South.
1:18 How you gonna stress that something happened NINE TIMES without posting a picture of Principal Rooney telling Ferris Bueller's mom how many times he was absent?
Hi Savannah!
Phillip.
Reminds me of Boar Fish. If I documented all the fish in a 1sqm patch while spear fishing and done that over a 100x100m grid, I would find 10,000 Boar Fish 🤦♂️ "Seriously Barry, stop following me and swimming in front of my spear, it's kinda creepy"
anthropomorphising on a grand scale. Just think of the word being used. Personality. As in person.
Fish are NOT people.
Certainly every population of a species has variety between individuals. But the characteristic of the species you are describing is BEHAVIOUR. The behaviour of each fish varies from the next fish.
Natural selection works on this difference in behaviour. BEHAVIOUR.
Stop anthropomorphising, it distorts the scientific process as much as your surprise that the behaviour occurs.
Using that methodology, you could conclude that *I* don't get caught on purpose because of my personality. If you're experimentally proving that water isn't wet, you've done something wrong. Either get a new control, or stop letting brats do research papers.
Generalizeing subjectivity... I love the nonsense of some researcher and science popularizer... Some Animals are just dumb, airless monkeys not excluded
I wrote an article in the UK angling magazine 'Carpworld' in 1994 based on nearly 20 years of observing common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and their reaction to bait.
They definitely have 'personality traits' and an ability to communicate. Time and again it would be the same bold/inquisitive fish that found the bait, swam away, then returned with members of the same 'social circle'.
I saw one particularly large fish which used to get caught a lot timidly hanging back from a baited area. Then when a 'critical number' of fish were actively feeding on the bait its behaviour switched and it fed greedily without caution.
I'd see the same groups of fish over and over, and they always started feeding in the same order. It was predictable to the point that I often knew which fish I was likely to catch next, based on the one I'd just caught.
I posited that the so-called 'mug' fish which got caught the most had actually figured out (in a learned behaviour fashion) that getting caught was a worthwhile payment for a very easy meal.
Has SciShow done a video about the Lazy Geoff type of animals, who get location-tracker tagged for research and then just. Sit there. Possibly for months on end. In a species where this is not expected. And the scientists worry that the animal is dead, until they either check on it, or it moves a little bit occasionally and then goes back to doing diddly squat. (There was a fascinating twitter conversation about this and I think other viewers would enjoy such stories)
...or maybe they are like rats in a maze that figure out there's a treat in the snack shack (trap) and - once caught once - remember the positive experience and repeat for treat. And, I mean, who wouldn't want to wiggle up that "ramp trap" and get a tasty treat at the end!? 🤓
Is trap-happiness really the same for snakes and for squirrels? I would think that every species thinks differently.
Also… stupidity is also a thing… Some animals could just be not so bright. 😂
"average reef holds 200 fish" factoid actualy just statistical error. average reef holds 100 fish. Fish Phillip, who loevs nets & gets caught 100 times each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Seems Ike evidence for habit formation possibly being ingrained in most organisms and not much to do with traps? If you walk the same sidewalk and not get killed, maybe you’d keep walking the same sidewalk since you didn’t get killed thus ingraining habit formations? Or you eat something and it turns out not poisonous, so you live and you keep eating the same thing thus forming habit of eating same things again and again, etc.
And it annoys me that stories like these stories inadvertently anthropomorphizes animals and says “thinks..”. Obviously it’s not the same “thinking” humans conceive of when they think of thinking. “Think” seems a misnomer to what animals do in these situations. More like they “act” perhaps? Idk.
I don't think you understand what's happening here... Have we considered the universe experiments at all?? The personalities that develop after a population reaches a certain size?? Do you not see it happening here now, in the relapses of trapped homeless community?? The beautiful ones?? Does any of this ring a bell?
Phil the fish: I must sacrifice myself for the many! It’s interesting that they never do anything but I think I have this predator under control!
The rest of the fish caught with Phil: 🤦 He’s the village idiot. Well it was nice knowing you guys 🫡
I love scishow but this is probably the most useless episode I've watched. I learned nothing ... Like nothing at all. I don't even know what the purpose of this video was 😢😢😢😢😢
Have they tested the relative intelligence of the trap happy ones? The potential for curiosity? Like imagine something really weird and alarming happens to you, but after handling you are released without harm... Maybe you try to figure it out by getting caught again... Maybe so long as you aren't hurt by the experience you keep doing it to try to understand it. Maybe it varies more with some kind of anxiety compensating tendency. Like how some humans impulsively re-expose themselves to things that cause them anxiety as an instinctive way to cope with that anxiety. I don't know why we would expect that some animals wouldn't also do this, or also be curious enough to try to understand a weird experience they had. I mean asides from the question of whether they're just being repeatedly genuinely fooled by the same trap.
I mean, I'm just starting the video but I imagine it's kinda like how some ppl enjoy bdsm & others don't 🤷♀️😁
Humans have been using similarly designed traps for millennia.
Could it be that we've created an evolutionary pressure to avoid or escape the traps, and those who repeatedly get caught may just lack the avoid/escape genes which we've bred into a significant proportion of that population..?
Wait, so let me get this right… different animals behaving differently, resulting in the same outcome is caused by… it’s complicated!? Checks out.
So growing up my dad would tease me and say _'you know how you were born right?'...'a bird sh@t on a rock, the sun hatched you out, and your mom said can we keep it'..._ I always knew he was full of it... don't make me question that.
Alien abductions are specifically designed to be frightening to avoid people seeking them out...?
They got tired of the Alpha-Centaurians who kept getting stoned and wandering out into the collection wilderness...
Squirrels will purposely get caught in live traps if fed before being released 😂I would know I kept catching a Squirrel in my trap numerous time a day so I used some acrylic paint put a little punk dot on the back of his head and sure enough 27 times in 6 days I caught the same Squirrel eventually he realized the food comes from me now when I'm outside sitting back in my chair he comes over taps me I open a jar of Peanuts and she sits on my chest and feeds and this year she brought her babies 😂 I'm kinda the Squirrel man now
The first species suggestions I heard, lamprey and badger, are caught with baited traps. I can imagine lamprey not having active memories of being trapped. Just like I can imagine there are forgetful badgers out there. Heck, I did research on spadefoot toads and in one watering hole I kept catching the same edible frog four times. Never marked him but I certainly recognised him. He missed a hand and each time I caught him his hand had grown back a little bit more. I can imagine that if you put a behavior study to these frogs you can find individuals that are bolder than others but I can hardly imagine a correllation or cause for trap happiness there.
The study gets interesting at unbaited traps. But I'd imagine explorative, curious and bold would have the same chance of getting caught regardless.
I mean, why do some humans fall into traps of some kind more often than others (like being scammed)? Maybe some of the animals are just a bit dumber and more naive ;P
But it makes totally sense that a lot of factors play a role, like mentioned. Never would've questioned that.
ba dum klunk
But thank you Savannah, all the same.
I would have liked to have met Philip the Fish, and maybe get his autograph. I'll bet he would have a unique wiggle in his signature.
As someone who would *absolutely* be the "trap happy" example of my species, I cannot help but suggest that it might be an inability to recognise a trap, rather than benefitting from the experience of being trapped. Just, don't underestimate how slow some of us are to learn, sure I got trapped the last 10 times, but this time I'm sure it's going to be fine!
I hope that the scramble to disprove the personality trait hypothesis isn't because it is considered athropomorphizing pseudoscience. There are pretty easy mechanistic explanations for personality differences based on normal genetic variance in neurobiology. I imagine tolerance of uncertainty is a dial that can easily be turned up and down in brains at least as simple as that of a fish. I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone mention that personality variance among individuals is likely to be of immense evolutionary benefit, especially for species subject to heavy predation. Different behavioral propensities increase the likelihood that at least some members of the group will avoid a given threat or acquire a given resource.
My cat is trap happy. She pretends like she doesn’t like being captured but she walks right into it several times daily
Whenever I conduct a survey to count how many cats I own I successfully capture 20 cats. But upon inspection it appears to be the same cat caught 20 times. I must deduce that the cat population in my house is at least 1. I can’t prove or rule out the existence of more
That's like wondering why humans who get abducted by aliens go back to the same cornfields. Getting abducted by an advanced species seems totally sick to me.
