    Sometimes an animal will become so convinced that traps are a good space (protection from predators and food), that they become what they call ‘trap happy’ and will go into any trap they see. Which is funny but annoying if you’re trying to do a survey or something and one asshole keeps showing up looking for snacks.

      Same thing can also happen with wildlife rehabs! You release a former patient, they make their way back to where they had the good life. Even prime release candidates can prove to be a bit too comfortable once they have a hard night.
