Eleutherodactylus grandis, also known as the great peeping frog, is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to Mexico and only known from near its type locality on the lava fields of Xitle volcano, in the southern part of the Mexico City federal district.
Its natural habitat is shrubland. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by spreading of Mexico City. Little suitable habitat remains, and the species is thought to be restricted to the Pedregal Reserve. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Great Peeping Frog sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 9th most-seen of the 10 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Great Peeping Frog in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in July–September and November–May, the lowest months. Those are among Mexico City's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain a month against 5 mm in December.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Great Peeping Frog 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 Mexico City, in our data
Mexico City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Great Peeping Frog sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Anura
The closest relatives of the Great Peeping Frog that you can see in Mexico City (order Anura, Frogs and Toads) are Montezuma Leopard Frog (about 10%), Canyon Tree Frog (about 10%) and Mountain Treefrog (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Great Peeping Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Mexico City (8 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.
