Rhinella spinulosa is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae that is found in the Andean Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. Rhinella spinulosa has a wide altitudinal range, from the sea level to 5,100 m (16,700 ft) asl, and it occurs in a range of habitats: scrubland and grassland in the Andes, and forested areas in the more southern parts of its range; it has also been recorded from arable areas. It breeds in temporary ponds, altiplano lagoons, and slow flowing streams. Where it occurs it tends to be abundant. Wikipedia →

Likely
About 60% of wildlife watchers report a Warty Toad sighting in La Paz on a given day, based on 179 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and November
In those months about 80% of wildlife watchers report a Warty Toad in La Paz on a given day, against under 5% in June, the lowest month. Those are among La Paz's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in June.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Warty Toad sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only La Paz, in our data
La Paz is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Warty Toad sightings: about 60% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Anura
The closest relatives of the Warty Toad that you can see in La Paz (order Anura, Frogs and Toads) are Rioja Tree Frog (about 50%), Juliaca four-eyed frog (about 50%) and Marsupian Frog (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Warty Toad is recorded against all the amphibians logged in La Paz (179 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.
