Researchers have found a new way to help curb the exploding population of Burmese pythons in Florida by tracking smaller animals that the snakes eat.
“It wasn’t originally about the python,” said Kelly Crandall, a master’s student at Southern Illinois University.
Researchers who teamed up on the project thought they were going to track opossums and raccoons invading neighborhoods. They outfitted the critters with GPS collars, so they could follow their every move. “We trap them in their natural area, we put the collar on then we release them exactly where we found them and just let them go about their business,” Crandall said.
