Gastrotheca galeata is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae.
Description This frog has coossified head and limbs and almost no webbed skin on the feet, so scientists think the frog might fossorial.
Habitat This frog lives in cloud forests, dry forests, pasture, and disturbed habitats. During the day, people see the frogs in cracks in rotted logs, in the ground, and under rocks. At night, they see it on branches. Scientists have seen the frog between above sea level.
Reproduction The female frog carries her eggs in a pouch on her back. The young emerge as small froglets, not tadpoles.
Threats The IUCN classifies this species as data deficient. They suspect regional agriculture may affect the frog.
