Florida used robot rabbits to hunt Burmese pythons threatening the Everglades
Florida tested solar-powered robot rabbits to locate invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades. Developed by the South Florida Water Management District and the University of Florida, these robotic decoys mimic prey using heat and scent, while AI cameras detect snakes. This initiative enhances Florida's ongoing efforts to control the python population and protect the ecosystem.
