With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fry's Frog sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 6th most-seen of the 8 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and October–November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Fry's Frog in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August–September and December–April, the lowest months. Those are among Daintree National Park's driest months, with about 65 mm of rain a month against 380 mm in January.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Fry's Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Daintree National Park, in our data
Daintree National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Fry's Frog sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Anura
The closest relatives of the Fry's Frog that you can see in Daintree National Park (order Anura, Frogs and Toads) are White-lipped Treefrog (about 70%), Eastern Cane Toad (about 60%) and Australian Wood Frog (about 50%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fry's Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Daintree National Park (12 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.
