Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ocellated Whiptail Lizard sighting in Buenos Aires on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 17th 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.

In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ocellated Whiptail Lizard in Buenos Aires on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ocellated Whiptail Lizard sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Buenos Aires, in our data
Buenos Aires is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ocellated Whiptail Lizard sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ocellated Whiptail Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Buenos Aires (12 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.
