Officials in Florida have invested in a range of methods to address the population of invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades, including an experimental effort involving robotic decoys designed to attract the snakes. The program used artificial rabbits equipped with heating elements, scent emitters, and cameras to lure pythons into monitored areas where removal teams could be dispatched.The Eve…
