No species of the same family or order lives in San José, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nicaraguan Slider sighting in San José on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 20th 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.
July and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nicaraguan Slider in San José on a given day, against under 5% in February–June and August–November, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nicaraguan Slider sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Nicaraguan Slider sightings, San José ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Panama City (Panama, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nicaraguan Slider is recorded against all the reptiles logged in San José (9 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.
