Burmese pythons, Cuban tree frogs, and Nile monitor lizards.
Explanation:
These three species, which are not native to Florida, have established breeding populations in the Everglades. They are predators which hunt and out-compete native species, and they have no natural enemies. Unfortunately, they are too well-established to be eliminated, though efforts are continuing to control them.
