Although there are many similar species that are endemic to these tropical locations, its unique physical, habitual, and behavioral characteristics distinguish it from other members of the Eleutherodactylus genus. This genus contains around 185 species that are located in the Southern United States, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, with 16 different species endemic to Puerto Rico (5). The Red-Eye Coqui was not brought into Panama City from its native habitats until the late 1960s. There it became established in urban parks befo |
