Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-bellied Liophis sighting in Buenos Aires on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 15th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-bellied Liophis in Buenos Aires on a given day, against under 5% in May–September and November–March, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-bellied Liophis sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Yellow-bellied Liophis sightings, Buenos Aires ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Porto Alegre (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-bellied Liophis is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Buenos Aires (16 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.
