With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Red-cheeked Squirrel sighting in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 5th most-seen of the 5 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April, September–October and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Red-cheeked Squirrel in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March, May–August and November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Red-cheeked Squirrel sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Doi Inthanon National Park, in our data
Doi Inthanon National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Asian Red-cheeked Squirrel sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Sciuridae
The closest relatives of the Asian Red-cheeked Squirrel that you can see in Doi Inthanon National Park (family Sciuridae, Squirrels) are Himalayan Striped Squirrel (about 40%) and Pallas's Squirrel (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Red-cheeked Squirrel is recorded against all the mammals logged in Doi Inthanon 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.
