si, el coquí es emblemático de Puerto Rico y está en peligro de extinción, pero el protagonista de mi album no es un coquí, ES EL SAPO CONCHO; una especie también nativa de Puerto Rico y en peligro de extinción. ¡¡¡CONCHO!!!
National Geographic
@NatGeo16 Jan 2025
An icon of Puerto Rico, the coquí frog is being threatened by development and climate change. Biologists hope Bad Bunny’s new album, highlighting the coquí’s plight, will raise awareness of the crises facing both the frog and Puerto Rico itself. 🔗 on.natgeo.com/3DXF1uu

This endangered toad just got a big boost from Bad Bunny

Bad Bunny’s latest album amplifies the voices of Puerto Rico’s coquí and endangered crested toad, highlighting the urgent need to protect the island’s fragile ecosystems and cultural heritage.

nationalgeographic.com
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It is not a coquí, but a Puerto Rican crested toad (sapo concho, in Spanish). Bad Bunny himself has clarified it: x.com/sanbenito/stat… The differences are easily seen here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Ri… Furthermore, Bad Bunny's animation frog is named “Concho”, which is quite a clue if you think about it.
