This page contains
audio clips of the ambient sounds of the rain forest. The recording
was made at night near Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
A variety of species of frogs can be heard in the recording. One
species you should be able to hear is the
coquî
(from
Cacique
... a Taino indian chief that was revered on the island of Puerto Rico.) The
coquî
has gotten its name from the "koo-ke" sound that
it makes.
