Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Javanese Flying Squirrel sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 11th most-seen of the 13 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Javanese Flying Squirrel in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Javanese Flying Squirrel sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Sciuridae
The closest relatives of the Javanese Flying Squirrel that you can see in Singapore (family Sciuridae, Squirrels) are Plantain Squirrel (about 40%), Slender Squirrel (about 20%) and Finlayson's Squirrel (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Javanese Flying Squirrel is recorded against all the mammals logged in Singapore (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.
