Question

How did the coqui frog got its name?

Answer 1

Puerto Rican Coqui. The Puerto Ricancoqui (pronounced ko-kee) is a small arboreal frog that's brown, yellow, or green in color. Its scientific genusname—Eleutherodactylus—means “free toes” because, unlike many frogs, the coqui doesn't have webbed feet.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The coquí frog gets its name from the mating call of the male, which sounds like coquí, or “co-kee.” Male coquí frogs use their call to attract female frogs and establish their territory.
