Puerto Rico's Coqui - The Singing Frog

The official mascot of Puerto Rico is a tiny tree frog known as the the Coquí. The name comes from the "co-qui" sound the male frogs make when the sun goes down. From the website -

"The coquíes begin to sing when the sun goes down at dusk. Their melody serenades islanders to sleep. Coquíes sing all night long until dawn when they stop singing and head for the nest. Puerto Ricans love their coquíes and have written poems, stories, and Aguinaldos about them.

During the time of the Taíno Indians trillions of coquíes serenated our ancestral home. Many Taíno Indian myths surround the coquí. Coquíes are found in much of the Taíno art like pictographs and pottery."
