Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leopard Keelback sighting in Buenos Aires on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 19th most-seen of the 22 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leopard Keelback in Buenos Aires on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Leopard Keelback sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Buenos Aires, in our data
Buenos Aires is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Leopard Keelback sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leopard Keelback is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Buenos Aires (7 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.
