It's my birthday! Could you give this Boricua a beloved coquí? <3
Feliz navidad! Here are some coquis for you...
Coqui (Eleuthrodactylus coqui), family Eleutherodactylidae, native to Puerto Rico
This frog has been introduced in other parts of the world.
The name comes from the sound of the call. "CO-QUI CO-QUI CO-QUI"
Frogs in this family go through the tadpole stage in the eggs, so the eggs do not need to be laid in the water (usually on a plant, or in moist soil).
