No species of the same family or order lives in Tel Aviv, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report an Egyptian Rock Agama sighting in Tel Aviv on a given day, based on 137 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the most-seen of the 14 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–April and June–November
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Egyptian Rock Agama in Tel Aviv on a given day, against about 20% in December, the lowest month.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Egyptian Rock Agama sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Egyptian Rock Agama sightings, Tel Aviv ranks 4th at about 40%. The best odds are in Amman (Jordan, about 80%), Jerusalem (Israel, about 50%) and Ramallah (Palestine, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Egyptian Rock Agama is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Tel Aviv (137 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.
