Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Monkey sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 345th most-seen of the 401 insects 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Monkey in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Banded Monkey sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Banded Monkey sightings, Durban ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Pretoria (South Africa, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Banded Monkey is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (5 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.
