Common Coqui
Eleutherodactylus coqui
The common coquí, widely known as the coquí, is a species of frog native to Puerto Rico belonging to the family Eleutherodactylidae.

The auditory systems of males and females respond preferentially to different notes of the male call, displaying sex difference in a sensory system. The common coquí is a very important aspect of Puerto Rican culture, and it has become an unofficial territorial symbol of Puerto Rico.
