I was thinking something a little more wild and violent. A predator
that thrives on a mole, say as a main / partial diet..

Any of the small / medium N. American wild cats, e.g. cougar,
mountain lion, bobcat etc., depending what its called in your
area.

Coyote, fox. Weasel, stuff like that.

Doubt that any self respecting raptor (small hawk, owl, etc. )
would deign to get dirty digging for one.

Basically the natural predators are all species being pushed out
of the ever growing suburbias, so that the mole
populations explode as the predators are forced out.

Wiki has an article on moles at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_%28animal%29

Only predator mentioned in the article is dogs.

Wiki is always a crapshoot. You get what you pay for.
