GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Cobra-chumbo is recorded against all the reptiles logged in João Pessoa (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.
