Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Cope's Antilles Snake sighting in Santo Domingo on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 8th most-seen of the 22 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Cope's Antilles Snake in Santo Domingo on a given day, against under 5% in February and August, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cope's Antilles Snake sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Santo Domingo, in our data
Santo Domingo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cope's Antilles Snake sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cope's Antilles Snake is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Santo Domingo (19 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.
