5

What characteristics distinguish the coquí from the rest of the amphibians?


An absence of an inter-digital membrane (which means they're not adapted to swimming); the last toe ends in a T shape; it has terrestrial reproduction and direct development, which means they have no tadpole stage, they hatch from eggs as fully formed small frogs.

  • Aesthetic: its habitats make up an incalculable and valuable resource and provide beauty to the island
  • Economical: it brings tourism to the island
