Gastrotheca pulchra is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Brazil.
Habitat This frog is found in primary and secondary tropical forests with trees about high. The frog has shown some tolerance to habitat disturbance so long as the canopy remains intact. People see the frog on plants above the ground. Scientists have seen the frog between and above sea level.
Scientists have seen this frog in protected parks.
Reproduction Scientists found one female frog with ten developing eggs in a pouch on her back.
Threats The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. In some parts of its range, the frog may be in danger from habitat conversion to farms, livestock cultivation, and urban areas. However, much of the silviculture consists of cacao tree farms, which preserve canopy, so the frogs do not have much trouble living there.
