Burmese pythons wreak havoc across the Florida Everglades. The invasive snakes eat just about anything. Do they eat alligators? What animals eat them?

A team dedicated to controlling populations of invasive Burmese pythons in Florida has deployed another unique method to find the elusive predators: robotic rabbits.

The team's job is to help control the number of Burmese python snakes in the area of south Florida. The robots are designed to look like marsh rabbits, an animal that pythons love to eat.

Version 2.0 of the study will add bunny scent to the stuffed rabbits if motion and heat aren’t enough to fool the pythons.

Burmese pythons have proliferated across more than a thousand square miles of Florida. How many of the invasive snakes live here and where?
