The golden coquí (Eleutherodactylus jasperi) is a rare, possibly extinct species of frog endemic to Puerto Rico.
[5] Both males and females are extremely territorial and they rarely move more than five meters (16 ft) away from their retreat spot.
[5] The four discoverers (George E. Drewry, Kirkland L. Jones, Julia R. Clark and Jasper J. Loftus-Hills) planned to name the species for its color.
[1][3] Golden coquís have only been found in areas of dense bromeliad growth in the Sierra de Cayey of Puerto Rico between 647 and 785 m (2,123 and 2,575 ft) above sea level.
The species' range includes privately owned land and one protected area, the Carite Forest Reserve.
