No species of the same family or order lives in Daejeon, so these are its closest relatives here: other amphibians.
Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Northeastern China Hynobiid Salamander sighting in Daejeon on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, May and July
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Northeastern China Hynobiid Salamander in Daejeon on a given day, against under 5% in April, June, September and December–January, the lowest months. Those are among Daejeon's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in January.
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.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Northeastern China Hynobiid Salamander sightings, Daejeon ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Daegu (South Korea, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Northeastern China Hynobiid Salamander is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Daejeon (14 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.
