How did the Romans physically capture and transport wild animals for use in the games?

Followups: Who's job was it to do this? Were some animals harder to capture? Were there "premium" animals? Did the Romans even do this themselves or were animals purchased?

/u/Enrico_Dandolo has a bit of information here. There's not a lot -- you get the sense that there are limited records about this sort of stuff -- but it's a starting point.
