Coyotes have managed to identify the perfect approach (behind them where there is a blind spot for the python) to literally bite off the head of the biggest pythons before they can react. Usually this is as they are digesting a big meal (multiple carcasses are being found in the Everglades with no head and the investigation showed it was coyotes evolving this skill).

For the smaller ones--especially those emerging from eggs, otters are learning to kill/eat them.

For the intermediate sized pythons, bobcats nave evolved to grab them..

Prior to a few years ago, it was unheard of for any of these species to go after pythons--especially the biggest. So, evolution in action. Good.
