The Chaco tree frog (Boana raniceps) is a frog species in the family Hylidae found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Paraguay, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland, rivers, swamps, freshwater lakes, intermittent freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, urban areas, and heavily degraded former forests.
These organisms are considered general predators, meaning that they feed on a wide range of prey. They catch their prey using a sit-and-wait foraging technique. They tend to hunt high above the ground in the trees. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Chaco Tree Frog sighting in El Impenetrable National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 4th most-seen of the 5 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Chaco Tree Frog in El Impenetrable National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–August and December–January, the lowest months. That is one of El Impenetrable National Park's wettest months, with about 120 mm of rain against 25 mm in July.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chaco Tree Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Chaco Tree Frog sightings, El Impenetrable National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Parque Estadual Encontro das Águas (Brazil, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chaco Tree Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in El Impenetrable National Park (5 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.
