Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a Merendon Emerald Spiny Lizard sighting in Cusuco National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the most-seen of the 18 reptiles 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.
June and August
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Merendon Emerald Spiny Lizard in Cusuco National Park on a given day, against about 10% in April and October, the lowest months. March and November–January have too few records to rate.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Merendon Emerald Spiny Lizard sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Cusuco National Park, in our data
Cusuco National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Merendon Emerald Spiny Lizard sightings: about 50% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Merendon Emerald Spiny Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Cusuco National Park (18 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.
