Coqui Frogs in the Big Island
2024-02-29 18:29:56Ko-kee, ko-kee ... is the other party's phone that invades the frog of Cotai and they have penetrated most of the big island. These toadows, also known as Eleutherodactylus coqui, were born in Puerto Rico, and these frogs are considered to be their livestock (Singer et al.). When the plant group from Puerto Rico to Hawaii was brought to Hawaii in the latter half of the 1980s, toads were brought into Hawaii by chance. The frog is about 2 inches in length and is usually light brown or gray with streaks behind.
Invading toads dominate Big Island in Hawaii. These frogs are only a quarter of the size, but their effects should not be underestimated. Over the past 15 years, the population of the island of Kokkiel has increased to tens of thousands. This is especially worrying because nearly 90% of adult frogs have not lived for more than a year. The invading group of toads is not a spatial problem but a healthy problem. Coqui Frogs made an unavoidable "wall of sound" at night. Local residents Pam Varma confirmed:

Today, they hardly hear it. During the past few years, the explosion of Eleutherodactylus coqui has transformed the acoustic landscape of the Big Island forest into monotonous constraints hiding these local songs. Thousands of amphibian sounds called "ko - keee, ko - keee, ko - keee" cover the songs from the native place. Since the population of the islands is so dense, state officials believe that the purpose of permanent resettlement is impossible there, but it is aimed at eradicating other islands.
