Ngati mwakhalapo ku Puerto Rico ndipo mumapita ku mvula yamkuntho kapena kulikonse kudutsa mumzindawu, mwamsanga mudzasungidwa ndi mascot a Puerto Rico osadziwika. Simudzatha kuona gwero la nyimboyi, koma mukhoza kulimva: gulu la oimba awiri omwe amawoneka ngati awa: Co-qui.
Ndipo umo ndi momwe mitundu yaing'ono yamitengo ya frog imene ilipo ku Puerto Rico imatchedwa dzina lake. Mbalameyi, ndi ine, chimodzi mwa zodabwitsa zachilengedwe za Puerto Rico .
Mitundu imeneyi imakhala m'nkhalango za chilumbachi (ngakhale kuti izi zadziwika ku US ndi zilumba zina) ndipo ndizochepa kwambiri: zimakhala ndi mainchesi 1 mpaka 2 ndipo zimalemera pakati pa 2 ndi 4 ounces. Zodabwitsa, izo zimapangitsa iwo kukhala amodzi mwa achule aakulu kwambiri ku Puerto Rico. Ndipo zimapangitsa chidwi kwambiri kuti phokoso limene amalulutsa likukweza kwambiri! Kuitana kwa khungu kuli kosavuta, kosavuta komanso kosawerengeka. Ndipo ngati mumatha kukhala usiku umodzi kapena awiri ku El Yunque , mudzamva nyimbo yawo usiku wonse popanda kusokonezeka. Chiwonetsero ichi chikhoza kukuyendetsani mtedza kapena kukunyengererani kuti mugone.
Anyamata aang'ono awa sizodabwitsa chabe chifukwa cha nyimbo zawo. Nkhumba (dzina la sayansi Eleutherodactylus coqui, lomwe limatanthauza "zala zaufulu") ) ndi losiyana ndi achule ambiri chifukwa alibe mapazi; mmalo mwake, zala zawo zili ndi mapapadera apadera omwe amawalola kukwera ndi kumamatira ku mitengo ndi masamba. Nyimbo ya muluwu imapangidwa ndi amuna amtunduwu kuti akope akazi ndi kuteteza mpikisano panthawi ya mating.
(Kupatsidwa kuti mumamva bwanji phokosoli chaka chonse, ndiko kukonda kwambiri kapena kukakamiza!). Ndipo mosiyana ndi achule ambiri, makokowa alibe malo otsika: amachokera ku mazira awo ngati achule ang'onoting'ono ndi mchira, yomwe amphongo amawoneka (amphongo amphongo amakhala otchuka kwambiri, si iwo).
Malo oterewa apita ku Puerto Rico, ndipo amapanga chikhalidwe cha chilumbachi. Mudzapeza zoseweretsa, mabuku ndi t-shirt pamalo alionse okhumudwitsa ku San Juan. Malo ambiri amadziwika ndi dzina lakuti "Coquí," ndipo nkhuku ya Puerto Rico imatchedwa coquito (ndizophatikizapo ramu, sinamoni, cloves, kokonati ndi dzira, ngati mukufuna kuyesa, mukhoza kugula mabotolo a izo pachilumba). Pali nkhani yodziwika bwino (yotsatiridwa ndi USDA Forest Service, njira) kuti "imvetsanso achule" ku El Yunque. Zikuwoneka kuti anyamatawa nthawi zambiri amapezeka pamapiri a m'nkhalango, kumene amadziwidwa ndi nyama zakutchire. M'malo moponyera pansi pang'onopang'ono pamakungwa kuti apeze malo obisalako, mabalawo osayenerera amangothamangitsira mlengalenga ndikungoyandama pansi.
