Coqui frogs, native to Puerto Rico, are distinctive for their small size, typically measuring around 1 to 2 inches, and their unique, high-pitched "co-kee" call which gives them their name. Unlike many other frogs, coquis do not require standing water for breeding; they lay their eggs on land, and the tadpoles develop within the eggs, emerging as miniature frogs. Additionally, coquis have a strong cultural significance in Puerto Rico, symbolizing the island's natural heritage. Their adaptability to various environments also sets them apart from many other frog species.
Coqui frogs are native to Puerto Rico and are help make up the diet of Puerto Rican racers (snake), many types of birds, and giant crab spiders. In other places such as Hawaii, the frogs have no known predators and are considered an invasive species.
The Coqui is the common name for several species of small frogs endemic to the island of Puerto Rico.
A coqui frog is a consumer. It feeds on insects and other small invertebrates, which makes it a primary consumer in its ecosystem. Producers, such as plants, create their own energy through photosynthesis, while coqui frogs rely on consuming other organisms for energy.

Coqui frogs, like other anurans (frogs and toads), possess paired appendages, specifically two front limbs and two hind limbs. These limbs are adapted for various functions such as jumping, climbing, and swimming. The structure of their limbs is typical of amphibians, with four digits on the front limbs and five on the hind limbs.
Yes, the male coqui, as well as all other male frogs and toads, has a mating call, which, pretty obviously, is utilized in finding a mate. Most male frogs also have what is called a distress call. This is used if the frog is either getting eaten or if a male mistakens another male for a female and he tries to mate with him.
The coqui frog is not currently considered endangered. However, some species of coqui frogs are experiencing population declines due to habitat loss and the introduction of non-native species, particularly in Puerto Rico. Conservation efforts are being implemented to protect these frogs and their habitats.
