With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Goldman's Pocket Gopher sighting in San Luis Potosí on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July–August and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Goldman's Pocket Gopher in San Luis Potosí on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, May–June and September–October, the lowest months. Those are among San Luis Potosí's wettest months, with about 70 mm of rain a month against 5 mm in April.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Goldman's Pocket Gopher sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only San Luis Potosí, in our data
San Luis Potosí is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Goldman's Pocket Gopher sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Goldman's Pocket Gopher is recorded against all the mammals logged in San Luis Potosí (6 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.
