𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥-𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐪𝐮í𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭, from 𝟑𝟎 to 𝟑𝟕 𝐦𝐦 , with an 𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 of 𝟑𝟒 𝐦𝐦 , while 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥-𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 from 𝟑𝟔 to 𝟓𝟐 𝐦𝐦 , with an 𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 of 𝟒𝟏 𝐦𝐦. 𝐂𝐨𝐪𝐮í𝐬 are 𝐦𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐲-𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 in 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 on the 𝐭𝐨𝐩 with 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭-𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 and a 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭-𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲.As 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐬, 𝐂𝐨𝐪𝐮í𝐬 possess 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐝𝐬 on the 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 of their 𝐭𝐨𝐞𝐬 which 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 them 𝐚𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 to 𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 or 𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬.The  𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐧 of the common Coqui is 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝟔 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 in the 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐝, but the 𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 of 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐪𝐮í𝐬 are 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 to the 𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 of 𝐏𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐨, 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬 and 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 they are 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 and 𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭, the 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 occurs in 𝐏𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬, where the species is 𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐫. The 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐪𝐮í is the 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐠 in 𝐏𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐨, with 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 at 𝟐𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬/𝐡𝐚. The species is considered a 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭, 𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 in a 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 of 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐬, including 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬, 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬, and 𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬, 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 in 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐝𝐬, 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬, and 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐬, 𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐬 or 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡.

The common coqui is a 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫, which can 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞,as a 𝐩𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝟏𝟏𝟒,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐞. 𝐃𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐬 are 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 of 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐝𝐬. 𝐉𝐮𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 consume 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐲, such as 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬, while 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 consume 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐬 that include 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐬, 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬, 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬, and 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐬.The frogs are 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐢𝐭-𝐚𝐧𝐝-𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬, and will 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 on any 𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐲.
