Leptodactylus cupreus is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Venezuela. [2] [3] [1]
This frog lives in forests with large numbers of epiphytes. It has been observed between 0 and 1700 meters above sea level. [1]
The frog has been reported in protected places, specifically PARES da Serra do Brigadeiro, PARMU do Monte Mochuara, and RPPN Estacao Veracel. [1]
The male frog sits under a plant and calls to the female frogs. The female frog builds a foam nest in burrow underground. After the eggs hatch, rainfall washes the tadpoles into nearby pools. [1]
The IUCN classifies this species as least concern. In some areas, it is in some danger from habitat loss associated with agriculture, silviculture, and livestock grazing. [1]
