Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gaige's Anole sighting in Panama City on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 22nd most-seen of the 24 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, March–April and July–August

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gaige's Anole sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Panama City, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gaige's Anole is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Panama City (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.
