Firefighters in South Florida removed a Burmese python from a home in Homestead, outside of Miami. The reptile has become a problematic invasive species despite removal efforts.

Burmese pythons pose a huge threat to native species in the Florida Everglades. Officials have used creative methods to manage the population of invasive snakes.

Florida deployed 120 robot rabbits this summer to lure invasive Burmese pythons and protect Everglades wildlife.
