No species of the same family or order lives in Seoul, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Grass Lizard sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 5th most-seen of the 13 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Grass Lizard in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in June and December–April, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mountain Grass Lizard sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Mountain Grass Lizard sightings, Seoul ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Busan (South Korea, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mountain Grass Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Seoul (20 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.
