Pseudophilautus zorro, the Gannoruwa shrub frog[2] is a species of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to central Sri Lanka.[3]
Its natural habitat is closed-canopy rainforest, but it can also occur in residential gardens with plenty of leaf-litter. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1] Conde et al. have estimated that protecting habitat of this species would cost of order US$200,000.[4]
