TOTALLY PROTECTED WILDLIFE

Interpretation of the Second Schedule

1. Species included in this Schedule are referred to—

(a) by the name of the species; or

(b) as being all of the species included in a higher taxon or designated part
thereof.

2. The abbreviation ―spp.‖ is used to denote all species of a higher taxon.

3. Other references to taxa higher than species are for the purposes of information
or classification only. The common names included after the scientific names of
families are for reference only. They are intended to indicate the species within the
family concerned that are included in this Schedule. In most cases this is not all of
the species within the family.

4. Where there is conflict between a scientific name and a local name and a
common name in the use of the name of any species in this Schedule, the scientific
name shall prevail.

(a) is made of light wire cable looped through a locking device or of small
nylon cord tied so that it will tighten as the animal pulls against it;

to open and close like scissors. One jaw has a trigger that can be baited.
The opposite jaw has a catch or dog that holds the trap open;
