How a common possum is helping scientists take down invasive 13-foot pythons from the wild
Scientists are using possums equipped with tracking devices to locate invasive Burmese pythons in Florida. When a possum stops moving, its collar signals its location, often indicating it has been eaten by a python. This innovative method helps researchers find and remove these large snakes, protecting native wildlife.
