Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Goldenscale Anole sighting in Manaus on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 12th most-seen of the 20 reptiles 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.
September
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Goldenscale Anole in Manaus on a given day, against under 5% in March, July and November–January, the lowest months. That is one of Manaus's driest months, with about 70 mm of rain against 270 mm in March.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Goldenscale Anole sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Manaus, in our data
Manaus is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Goldenscale Anole sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Goldenscale Anole is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Manaus (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.
