Robot Rabbits Are Saving Florida's Wild Animals

Pythons are one of the world's biggest snakes. Some are six meters long! They
are strong and dangerous.
蟒蛇力氣大又危險,是世界上最大的蛇類之一。有一些蟒蛇甚至長達六公尺!

Many years ago, there were no pythons in the U.S. People brought pythons from
Asia. They wanted pet pythons!
很多年前,美國沒有蟒蛇。有人把蟒蛇從亞洲帶回美國,想要當寵物養!

These pet pythons grew and grew! People could not take care of them. Many put
their pythons out in the wild.
這些蟒蛇越長越大,讓人無法照顧,就把蛇送到野外放生。

In Florida, a U.S. state, pythons eat many wild animals. Florida is worried
about these animals. So it does not want pythons in the wild. But pythons are
hard to find. It can take ten hours to catch one!
美國佛羅里達州的蟒蛇會吃掉其他的野生動物。當地希望除掉這些蟒蛇,問題是蟒蛇很難找到,有時候要花上十個鐘頭才能抓到一條。

Now scientists are catching pythons with robots. Pythons eat rabbits, so the
scientists made small robot rabbits. These robots look like rabbits. They
move like rabbits. They are warm like rabbits. Pythons think they are real
rabbits!
蟒蛇會吃兔子,因此科學家做了小小的機器兔,外表跟行為跟體溫都很像真的兔子,所以蟒蛇以為是真正的!

When a python comes close to a robot, cameras around the robot see it.
Workers come quickly. They catch the python!
蟒蛇靠近機器兔時,附近的攝影機就會拍到牠。工作人員馬上趕來,當場捕獲蟒蛇。

These robot rabbits help catch pythons. The robot rabbits are saving
Florida's wild animals!
