Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Dusky Smooth-throated Lizard sighting in Santiago on a given day, based on 43 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 4th most-seen of the 8 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Dusky Smooth-throated Lizard in Santiago on a given day, against under 5% in March and April, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dusky Smooth-throated Lizard sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Santiago, in our data
Santiago is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dusky Smooth-throated Lizard sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Liolaemus
The closest relatives of the Dusky Smooth-throated Lizard that you can see in Santiago (genus Liolaemus, Smooth-throated Swifts) are Blue-Green Smooth-throated Lizard (about 50%), Valparaiso Smooth-throated Lizard (about 30%) and Talcahuano Smooth-throated Lizard (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dusky Smooth-throated Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Santiago (43 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.
