Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fujian Large-headed Frog sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 15th most-seen of the 16 amphibians 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.
July to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fujian Large-headed Frog in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in November to June, the lowest months.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Fujian Large-headed Frog sightings, Hong Kong ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Taipei (Taiwan, about 20%) and Hangzhou (China, about 10%).
Same family: Dicroglossidae
The closest relatives of the Fujian Large-headed Frog that you can see in Hong Kong (family Dicroglossidae, Fork-tongued Frogs) are Hong Kong Spiny Frog (about 20%), Hong Kong Rice-paddy Frog (about 10%) and Asian Peters Frog (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fujian Large-headed Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Hong Kong (10 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.
