No species of the same family or order lives in Coiba National Park, so these are its closest relatives here: other mammals.
Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a Coiban Agouti sighting in Coiba National Park on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 5 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Coiban Agouti in Coiba National Park on a given day, against about 10% in April and November, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Coiban Agouti 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 Coiba National Park, in our data
Coiba National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Coiban Agouti sightings: about 50% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Coiban Agouti is recorded against all the mammals logged in Coiba National Park (29 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
