Mountain Coqui

Eleutherodactylus portorricensis

Description:

The sound they make (Co-Qui) serves two purposes. 'CO' serves to repel males and establish territory while the 'QUI' serves to attract females.

Habitat:

Hi up in the mountains of Toro Negro Forest we found several of them hiding under big leafs and under rocks. Very humid area.

Notes:

I marked a website that can listen to the different coqui's songs :) enjoy

Esto no es E. portoricensis, es E. coqui, el ojo de E. portoricensis es blanco, este es gris y en Toro Negro no se encuentra, solamente en el Yunque y las montañas de Camuy
