Coquis “sing” on all of the islands. There are 13 other closely related species of frogs on Puerto Rico and all of them “sing” but only one has the call that we call Coqui. The body size of Coqui is different depending on the altitude they are found. Close to the top of the highest mountain the call is much slower and much lower in frequency. A number of years ago it was reported that some small populations of Coqui had been established in Florida. They were reported to “sing” there.

If it gets out of control on the island of Oahu, where most of the population of Hawaii lives, people will get very, very angry. Or they will be complacent, and we will live with the frog as we live with graffiti. I warned my friends and family to take this issue seriously. The article seems cute with a light warning.

Watch this event carefully. It is in its infancy. Godzilla is still small and cute.

They were introduced back in the 1800s to control sugar cane moths but ended up having no natural predators. They have now travelled and spread to most states in Australia. The good news is that black crows have adapted to become a natural predator. They can kill and eat the toads while avoiding the poison sacks in the toads’ heads. Thanks for your post.

They are able to survive in other tropical environments.
