No species of the same family or order lives in Abidjan, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Senegal Mabuya sighting in Abidjan on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Senegal Mabuya in Abidjan on a given day, against about 10% in January, March–April, June, August and October, the lowest months. February and May have too few records to rate.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Senegal Mabuya sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Senegal Mabuya sightings, Abidjan has the highest daily chance: about 40%. Next come Lagos (Nigeria, about 20%) and Serrekunda (Gambia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Senegal Mabuya is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Abidjan (6 verified sightings), 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.
