Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Dwarf Spiny Lizard sighting in Celaque National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 4th most-seen of the 6 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Dwarf Spiny Lizard in Celaque National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March, June–July, September and December–January, the lowest months. That is one of Celaque National Park's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain against 370 mm in September.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dwarf Spiny Lizard sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Celaque National Park, in our data
Celaque National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dwarf Spiny Lizard sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dwarf Spiny Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Celaque National Park (5 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.
