Rana catesbeiana or Lithobates catesbeianus

Notes:

This beauty was laying in a hole by a small pond. Its leg had been gashed open, not sure how though.

I went back a few hours later, and it looked as if it had been attacked again.

Perhaps it managed to avoid being eaten by a predator. There are many creatures that would enjoy having a large frog lunch.
