Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Bullfrog sighting in Ankarafantsika National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Bullfrog in Ankarafantsika National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October, the lowest month. That is one of Ankarafantsika National Park's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against almost none in August. February and March have too few records to rate.
Between 5 and 8 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Madagascar Bullfrog sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Ankarafantsika National Park, in our data
Ankarafantsika National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Madagascar Bullfrog sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Madagascar Bullfrog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Ankarafantsika National Park (10 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
