Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Forest Skink sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 35th most-seen of the 43 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, July–August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Forest Skink in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in May–June, September and November–March, the lowest months.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Brown Forest Skink sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Forest Skink is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Hong Kong (9 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.
