USGS tests drones to track invasive Burmese pythons across Florida’s Everglades

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is testing drones to track invasive Burmese pythons in Florida’s Everglades. The pythons, which can grow up to 20 feet long, pose a significant threat to native wildlife. The drones, equipped with thermal cameras, can detect the snakes' heat signatures, making it easier for researchers to locate and remove them.
