Florida is turning to solar-powered robot rabbits to tackle one of its biggest invasive species problems. In 2025, scientists began deploying AI-powered robotic rabbit decoys to lure Burmese pythons out of hiding, making it easier for wildlife officials to capture the giant snakes.
The project is a collaboration between the South Florida Water Management District and the University of Florida as part of ongoing efforts to control the growing python population in the Everglades.
