Robot rabbits aid Florida's fight against invasive Burmese pythons
Researchers in Florida are using robot rabbits that mimic real ones to lure and trap invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades, aiming to protect native wildlife from these voracious predators. The robotic decoys are part of an innovative effort to control the python population, which has significantly impacted local ecosystems, with thousands of snakes already removed since 2000. The project is still in early stages but shows promise as a new tool in wildlife management.
