Re: New Miniature Tree Frog??
The DR from UF emailed me to say they are the Cuban Tree Frog. - If they are, they have not grown any, and do not get bigger than 5/8 of a inch! - Its been a week since I took these pics. Its well over 2 months that I been watching them now, and they have not grown! - I can sell them if they are coqui? - I would want to sell 6 at a time so you have a chance to bread them, and we don't lose this species if its rare! - These little guys have the loudest sound I ever heard! - All this time I thought it was a huge Toad's at night!

The Puerto Rican coquÃ* is a very small - tiny - tree frog about one inch long. Some coquÃ*es look green, some brown and some yellowish - actually they are translucent. CoquÃ*es have a high pitched sound and can be heard from far away.
The CoquÃ* Dorado is the only specie in the world that bears live young.
CoquÃ*es are in danger of extinction and actually two of them are already extinct - the CoquÃ* Dorado and the CoquÃ* Palmeado. Others are endangered species like the CoquÃ* Caoba and the CoquÃ* de Eneida. Why are coquÃ*es in extinction? Because of deforestation. People have destroyed their habitat or homes (nests) destroying their eggs and destroying their source of food and nourishment.
