Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Amazon Green Anole sighting in Recife on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 8th most-seen of the 18 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and November–December
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Amazon Green Anole in Recife on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, May–July and September, the lowest months. Those are among Recife's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain a month against 260 mm in June.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Amazon Green Anole 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.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Amazon Green Anole sightings, Recife has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Maceió (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amazon Green Anole is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Recife (12 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.
