runkokehikoissa

Runkokehikoissa, also known as the "trunked coqui," is a species of tree frog native to the island of Puerto Rico. This frog is notable for its distinctive call, which is often described as a loud, high-pitched "coo-kee" sound, hence the name "coqui." The call is produced by the male frog to attract mates and defend its territory. The runkokehikoissa is a medium-sized frog, typically measuring around 2.5 to 3 inches (6.4 to 7.6 cm) in length. It has a smooth, olive-green back with darker spots and a lighter belly. The frog's scientific name, Eleutherodactylus coqui, reflects its unique characteristics and its role in the ecosystem of Puerto Rico. The runkokehikoissa plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by controlling insect populations and serving as a food source for other animals. However, the frog's population has declined due to habitat loss, pollution, and the introduction of non-native species. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this species and its habitat.
