Classification

Class
Aves

Coquí (Spanish: [koˈki]) is a common name for several species of small frogs in the genus Eleutherodactylus, native to Puerto Rico. They are onomatopoeically named for the very loud mating call which the males of two species, the common coqui and the upland coqui, make at night. The coquí is one of the most common frogs in Puerto Rico, with more than 20 different species found within its territory, including 13 in El Yunque National Forest.
