There are no wolverines in Florida: they're much farther north.
Anacondas live in South America.
Boa constrictors live in Central and South America, and on some Caribbean islands, I think.
Isn;t it more likely to be an alligator, in Florida?

OK -- snakes like anacondas and boas do not dig holes -- and they swallow their prey whole, not rip it apart. It may simply be a large fox. If the bird was weak and small (or died naturally and was scavanged), a fox might catch it -- and they DO live in burrows.

Sounds to me like a scavenger. I am in Australia and a typical culprit would be a fox. The hole could be an attempt to bury the carcass for a later meal.
