Florida officials deploy robot rabbits to control the invasive Burmese python population.

Scientists from the South Florida Water Management District and the University of Florida have teamed up to use robotic rabbit decoys as part of our continuing efforts to combat and remove invasive pythons.

This summer, 120 robot rabbits were deployed to eliminate as many pythons as possible from the Everglades, where they are killing native species.

In Everglades National Park alone, officials have said the snakes have eliminated 95 percent of small mammals.
