With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Golden Frog sighting in Hangzhou on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 10th most-seen of the 13 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and June–September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Golden Frog in Hangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in November to February, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eastern Golden Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
6th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Eastern Golden Frog sightings, Hangzhou ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in Hefei (China, about 40%), Nanjing (China, about 20%) and Suzhou (China, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eastern Golden Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Hangzhou (15 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.
