Dunn's Marsupial Frog

Adult males measure 32–43 mm (1.3–1.7 in) and adult females 33–55 mm (1.3–2.2 in) in snout–vent length. The head is slightly wider than it is long. The snout bluntly rounded. The tympanum is brown. The finger discs are much wider than the digits. The toes are about half-webbed. The dorsum is tan or dull green and may have dark brown longitudinal paravertebral markings or dark flecks. Most specimens have a pale dorsolateral stripe. The flanks are uniform gray or marked with dark spots. The ventrum is pale creamy gray, rarely with dark flecks.

Gastrotheca dunni is a common and adaptable species that occurs in primary and secondary forests and grasslands, as well as anthropogenic habitats such as plantations, farmland, and urban gardens. Its altitudinal range is 2,000–4,000 m (6,600–13,100 ft) above sea level. The female broods her eggs in a pouch on her back, then carries the tadpoles to a pool where they develop further. This species is facing no major threats.
