Where does the Quiller sighting chance come from?

Accepted Answer

GBIF citizen-science records. It is estimated from how often the Quiller is recorded against all the mammals logged in Great Bear Rainforest (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.
