Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Straight-Tipped Ringtail sighting in Cumbres de Monterrey National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 390th most-seen of the 431 insects 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 Straight-Tipped Ringtail in Cumbres de Monterrey National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Straight-Tipped Ringtail is recorded against all the insects logged in Cumbres de Monterrey National Park (7 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.
