Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Golden Frog sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 6th most-seen of the 11 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–July and September
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Golden Frog in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in November to March, the lowest months. Those are among Nanjing's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in December.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eastern Golden Frog 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.
2nd of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Eastern Golden Frog sightings, Nanjing ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Hefei (China, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eastern Golden Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Nanjing (30 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.
