What time of day is best to see a Forest Toad?

Between 9 am and noon

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Forest Toad sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Where does the Forest Toad sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Forest Toad is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Chagres National Park (16 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.
