No species of the same family or order lives in Daegu, so these are its closest relatives here: other amphibians.
Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Northeastern China Hynobiid Salamander sighting in Daegu on a given day, based on 85 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 80% of wildlife watchers report a Northeastern China Hynobiid Salamander in Daegu on a given day, against about 10% in June to October, the lowest months. That is one of Daegu's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 260 mm in July. December has too few records to rate.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Northeastern China Hynobiid Salamander sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Northeastern China Hynobiid Salamander sightings, Daegu has the highest daily chance: about 40%. Next come Daejeon (South Korea, about 30%) and Seoul (South Korea, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Northeastern China Hynobiid Salamander is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Daegu (85 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.
