Coqui is the common name for a frog that is endemic to Puerto Rico. They are named for the mating call (sounds like Ko-kee) that males make all year long, because in Puerto Rico it's always mating season, just ask any Puerto Rican male ;)

This is the species that chirps from dusk til dawn at El Verde. The incessant singing took some getting used to when trying to fall asleep my first night at the station.
