With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Allapalli Grass Skink sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 19th most-seen of the 23 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–May, September and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Allapalli Grass Skink in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, June–August and October–November, the lowest months. Those are among Mumbai's driest months, with about 80 mm of rain a month against 830 mm in July.
Only Mumbai, in our data
Mumbai is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Allapalli Grass Skink sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Allapalli Grass Skink is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Mumbai (5 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.
