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 in Florida.

They look, move and smell like rabbits a Burmese python would love to eat. But these bunnies are robots meant to lure the invasive snakes out of their hiding spots.

There have been tests using near-infrared cameras for python detection, special traps designed, and pythons are tracked by the DNA they shed in water, with radio telemetry, and with dogs.

They look, move and even smell like the kind of furry Everglades marsh rabbit a Burmese python would love to eat.
