I heard some weird croaking like a frog but high pitch more like a squealing not like a frog. I looked down and this frog was about half ingested and within a few minutes totally gone.
Looks like a Northen water snake. The Brown water snake has similiar hour glass markings like a Copperhead...both type water snakes are common in Tn and harmless....except to frogs!
I was watching a smaller one eyeball some minnows in a tiny pool of water and I blinked my eye and the empty mouth was then full of minnow. Faster than magic trick.

No doubt it is a northern water snake. Southerners always fry frogs before eating them.
