Common Coqui

Eleutherodactylus coqui

Description:

The name Coqui is due to the call of two notes which the males of two species (E, coqui and E. portoricensis) make that sounds like "co" -"qui". The female of the common coqui puts between twenty-five and forty eggs each time in any leaf. They born already as adults in miniature. This form of reproduction allows them to live in forests and other habitats without relying on temporary or permanent bodies of water. The male is the one who protects the eggs until they born.

Habitat:

Bromelias, palms, trees and other humid place

The first photo is a female, the others is the same male
