Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Honduran Emerald Spiny Lizard sighting in Tegucigalpa on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the most-seen of the 11 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Honduran Emerald Spiny Lizard in Tegucigalpa on a given day, against under 5% in April and December, the lowest months. That is one of Tegucigalpa's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain against 10 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Honduran Emerald Spiny Lizard sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Tegucigalpa, in our data
Tegucigalpa is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Honduran Emerald Spiny Lizard sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Honduran Emerald Spiny Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Tegucigalpa (22 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.
