With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Treefrog sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 77 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 10 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Treefrog in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in February to May, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mountain Treefrog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Mountain Treefrog sightings, Mexico City ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Toluca (México, about 30%), León (México, about 20%) and Puebla (México, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mountain Treefrog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Mexico City (77 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.
