Uma ngabe uke waya ePuerto Rico futhi uphume waya emahlathini asempumalanga noma noma yikuphi ngaphesheya kwedolobha elisemadolobheni, maduzane uzothathwa yi-mascot yasePuerto Rico. Ngeke ukwazi ukubona umthombo wale melody, kodwa ngokuqinisekile ungawuzwa: i-orchestra emibili-inothi ezwakala kanje: Co-qui.
Futhi yileyo ndlela izinhlobo ezincane zezihlahla ze-frog ezihlala ePuerto Rico zathola igama layo. I-coquí, kimi okungenani, yezinye izimangaliso zemvelo zasePuerto Rico .
Lezi zinhlobo eziphilayo zihlala emahlathini esiqhingini (nakuba sekuye kwaziswa e-US nakwezinye iziqhingi) futhi iyingcosana ngempela: ifinyelela kumasentimitha amabili ubude futhi isisindo esiphakathi kwama-2 no-4 ama-ounces. Okumangalisa ukuthi lokhu kwenza kube amanye amaxoxo amakhulu ePuerto Rico. Futhi kuyenza kube umxhwele nakakhulu ukuthi umsindo abawukhiqizayo ukhulu kakhulu! Ukushaywa kwe-coquí kucacile, kuphakanyisiwe futhi kungenakwenzeka. Futhi uma uqala ukuchitha ubusuku noma ababili e- El Yunque , uzozwa ingoma yabo ubusuku bonke ngaphandle kokuphazanyiswa. Le symphony izokuqhubela ama-nut noma ikugulise ukuba ulale.
Labafana abancane akuyona nje emangalisa ngenxa yomculo wabo. I-coquí (igama lesayensi elithi Eleutherodactylus coqui, elisho ukuthi "izinzwane zamahhala") lihlukile kumaxoxo amaningi ngoba akanalo izinyawo zewebhu; Kunalokho, izinzwane zabo zinamapayipi akhethekile abanikeza ukuba bakhuphuke futhi banamathele emithini nasemaceleni. Ingoma ye-coquí ikhiqizwa yindoda yezinhlobo zokuheha abesifazane futhi igweme abancintisana ngenkathi yokulinganisa.
(Njengoba kunikezwe ukuthi uzwa kangaki lo msindo kakhulu unyaka wonke, lokho kudlala okuningi noma ukuposa!). Futhi ngokungafani namaxoxo amaningi, ama-coquí asenayo isiteji esincane: avela emaqanda awo njengamaxoxo amancane ngemisila, esilindelwe yindoda (amantombazane amantombazane ayiningi lezisebenzi ezikhuthele, akunjalo).
Ama-coquís adlule endaweni yasePuerto Rico, futhi ayingxenye yesiko lesiqhingi. Uzothola amathoyizi, amabhuku kanye nezinkampani ze-coquí kunoma isiphi isitolo se-souvenir eSan Juan. Izikhungo eziningi zinegama elithi "Coquí," futhi inguqulo yasePuerto Rican ye-egg nog ibizwa ngokuthi i-coquito (ixuba i-rum, i-sinamoni, i-clove, i-coconut neqanda, uma uthanda ukuzama; ungabuye uthenge amabhodlela it esiqhingini). Kukhona indaba evamile (eqinisekiswe yi-USDA Forest Service, endleleni) ukuthi "imvula ngisho namaxoxo" e-El Yunque. Ngokusobala, abantu abancane bavame ukuzitholela ekhoneni lehlathi, lapho bevezwe khona nakakhulu kwezilwane zabo eziphilayo. Esikhundleni sokwenza umonakalo okhukhumayo nokuchitha isikhathi phansi kwegxolo endaweni yokufihla, ama-coquí angenakuphikiswa angena nje emoyeni futhi abuyele phansi emhlabathini.
