The Sumatran puddle frog (Occidozyga sumatrana) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It might be endemic to Indonesia. However, it has often been confused with Occidozyga laevis, and was also for long considered to be its junior synonym.
Its known distribution is restricted to Sumatra and Java, as well as Sipora and Simeulue islands. The true distribution of this species is therefore poorly known but likely to be wider (perhaps from India through Malaysia to southern China). Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, intermittent freshwater marshes, and canals and ditches. It is threatened by habitat loss. However it has most recently been reported in Singapore on August 23, 2018. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Sumatran Puddle Frog sighting in Kuching on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 6th most-seen of the 10 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Sumatran Puddle Frog in Kuching on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, May, July, September and November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sumatran Puddle Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Sumatran Puddle Frog sightings, Kuching has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Singapore (Singapore, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sumatran Puddle Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Kuching (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.
