Coqui frog - Puerto Rican Endemic Picture on the left: a copy of actual size Scientific name: Eleutherodactylus portoricensis This is a tiny tree frog, about 1" long, native to Puerto Rico. Its skin is smooth and almost transparent, which coloration rapidly blending with its surroundings. The frog derives its name from the sound of its melodious song which lulls young and adults alike to sleep in the Puerto Rican countryside. Hiding in moist and dark places during the day, it emerges at sundown for its nightly performance. The song is sweetest and most joyous after rainfall.
