The coqui, pronounced "ko-kee" is a tiny tree frog about one inch long. Its scientific name is "eleutheradcatylus portoricensis." Its skin is smooth and almost transparent, with coloration rapidly blending with its surrounding. Derives its name from the sound of it melodious song, which falls young and adults alike to sleep in the Puerto Rican countryside. Hiding in the moist and dark places during the day, it emerges at sundown for its nightly performance. The song is sweetest and most joyous after rainfall.
