                                Now what is cuter than this little itty bitty tiny slimy green frog called
                       the coqui, native to (and only to) Puerto Rico. There name comes from
                       the sound they make... "coqui...coqui..coqui". Even if you call somebody
                       on the phone, chances are you will hear the coqui. They start to sing their
                       song shortly after sundown, and sing until sunrise, as the night goes on
                       their singing gets louder and louder...
                         You barely see them, and if you do, there so tiny, that you have to look
                       hard, fully grown the coqui is about the size of your thumbnail, but being
                       so tiny doesn't stop them from being heard. Trust, they are VERY loud.
                       Kinda like us puerto ricans are... =)
 
                       They cannot survive outside of Puerto Rico, I don't know why, I ain't
                       no scientist, but I do know that for a fact. So if you ever go to Puerto
                       Rico, you can't miss the coqui, well their big mouth that is....
 

                              P.S.  If you turn up the volume you can hear the coqui...(Hopefully)  =o)
