With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gaudichaud's Frog sighting in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 11 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and December–January
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Gaudichaud's Frog in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, against under 5% in April and August–October, the lowest months. Those are among Rio de Janeiro's wettest months, with about 200 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in August.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gaudichaud's Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Rio de Janeiro, in our data
Rio de Janeiro is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Gaudichaud's Frog sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gaudichaud's Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Rio de Janeiro (26 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.
