Have you ever heard the Puerto Rican frog called Coqui? why does it sound different to any other frog?

The legend goes that once upon a time, Ignacio, the native Puerto Rican parrot and  King of the Forest, called all the animals for a meeting.  He thought that the animals had gotten lazy from enjoying the Trade Winds and getting suntans.  He called for a race among the best of each animal with the winner receiving a special gift.  All the animals kept lounging around except the tree frogs.  They were training and working hard, encouraging Pepito, their leader,  with their silent cheers for tree frogs could not emit a sound.   They knew that since they were the smallest animals in the forest, it was going to be hard for them to win.  Well, Pepito won the race...and Ignacio blessed the tiny tree frogs with the ability to sing. Now they sing for all Puerto Rico.

It does sound a little like Spanish, but then again I do not know what the web site is about. Maybe the name would fit, maybe it would not.

It might sound like a lisp, but it's actually a different consonant.\n\nSpeakers of Spanish in the Americas use an "s" sound for words that are spelled with "z", but some people from Spain use a sound like the English "th" in the same situation.  Therefore, a Spanish-speaker from Mexico might say "corazon" as "cor-a-son" and a Spanish-speaker from Spain might say "cor-a-thon".  This isn't a lisp; it's just a difference between the dialects of Spanish.

Ecuador.\n\nAnd beauty, thanks for the nice compliment in my nickname question.\n\nHot? You'd have to decide for yourself. However, the result of the Irish-Puerto Rican combination somehow turned up to be somewhat Italian. People tend to mistake me for an Italian and sometimes for a French when I'm wearing a beanie. No one guesses I'm Puerto Rican.\n\nWant to email? Just add the letters pr to my nick and send to yahoo.\n\nQue tenga un buen día, hermosa señorita.

Had you asked me this before I met and married my husband I would have told you they would completely FREAK OUT. ( I was so sure my family was a bunch of racist rednecks lol) But my husband is Puerto Rican and when we started dating they all seemed to be fine with it...and when we married and had our son they were thrilled. They like him ( sometimes i am positive they like him more than me) so I guess I was wrong they are not racist after all...still rednecks though.

I only know of one talking gecko (and any others are probably imitating him, apparently with right down to the accent).  I would guess he has a British accent because Americans think it sounds 'cool,' which is actually fairly important if you want people to remember your commercial.  Also I think that a lot of Americans will tend to associate a British accent with Oxford professors, so it gives the gecko credibility at a subconcious level.

I've always wondered that too.  I've noticed that more people from the south call them waterbugs.  I call those little armadillo bugs water bugs and freak people out when I say I had one in my house.  :)

I believe it is a British dialect called "cockney".  Me and my husband have this same arguement everytime those commercials come on! This is weird, but go to this website, it's the only one I could find with an example in audio (its a story told in cockney, sounds like the gecko!) You have to listen for a minute or so to get to it.

well... if u want to know the scientific reason , they have got a sound box called `syrinx' where we have the "larynx".\nand no..they are not talking. they do not have a broca`s area for that ., it only developed in humans..    communicating yes.as for the ranges of their sound, each one is meant for diff. purposes.(feeding, mating).this is my surmise. anyway, its a lovely ques..

not all male frogs are called bull frogs.....it is a seperate species (Rana catesbeiana) . So it is a male bull frog and a female bull frog.\nDifferentiating the sexes could be done by the vocal sacs(throat region) and the nuptial pad (foreleg) in the male. Only males croak
