it wasnt me who made them grizz so im unable to get a close up pic

but from looking at the pictures... it looks like when the animal pushes down the timber... theres a cable or something similar connected between the timber and the loop on the top of the cage
this then rotates the bar as its cable tied to the top of the cage (loosely) and the hook at the end
moves out of the way of one of the bars on the door of the cage
which allows the door fall down and close

It's the same idea as the live rat/mink traps, you can get a good eyeball on one in any good farm shop or hardware store
