With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Military River Frog sighting in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 4th most-seen of the 11 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Military River Frog in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, against under 5% in April, July, September–October and December, the lowest months. That is one of Rio de Janeiro's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain against 40 mm in August.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Military River Frog 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.
Only Rio de Janeiro, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Military River Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Rio de Janeiro (18 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.
