El Coqui: Symbol Of Puerto Rico
Personal memory by Jose Miranda
2007 • Toro Negro, Ciales, Puerto Rico
I remember the first time I ever saw the coqui, I was camping with my boy scout group and all of a sudden I get to hear its cry, and I see it the tiniest toad I've ever seen in my entire life, I wanted to keep it, but we weren't able to because of national animal reasons. I'll never forget seeing my islands symbol in person, I really wish I could revisit that moment in time.
