Edit Answer Key


1

To what class does the coquí belong?

2

This class is divided into three orders, Apoda, Caudata, and Anura. The coquí belongs to the Anura order. What other members belong to this order?


Frogs and toads.


3

What member of this class is mentioned in the Bible?


Frogs are mentioned in the Bible, more famously as one of the 10 plagues against the Egyptians, found in Exodus chapter 8. They are also mentioned in Psalms 78:45, 105:30; and Revelation 16:13.


4

Give the general traits of this class.


They are cold-blooded; their skin is not covered with anything; they are soft and moist (with the exception of Caecilian, which have small scales); they have an aquatic larval stage of development; the young generally undergo metamorphosis from larva with gills to an adult air-breathing form with lungs; they use their skin as a secondary respiratory surface.


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.


6

Why is it called the coquí?


The species is named for the loud call the males make at night.


7

What other sound, song, or call, besides "coquí", does the coquí make?


Different coquí make different types of sounds, such as: "Churi- ki – ki – ki", Red-eyed coquí (Eleutherodactylus antillensis), locally known as coquí churí

"Clicks – clicks", Eneida's coquí (Eleutherodactylus eneidae)

Prolonged and fine whistle, Whistling coquí

A low "chip – chip", Bronze coquí, or Richmond's coquí, (Eleutherodactylus richmondi)

Waterdrops falling, Mona coquí (Eleutherodactylus monensis)

"Tuit – tuit – tuit", Golden coquí (Eleutherodactylus jasperi)

What is the purpose of the song of the coquí?


This sound serves two purposes; "CO" serves to repel males and establish territory, while the "KEE" serves to attract females.
