With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Maputoland Dwarf Worm Lizard sighting in iSimangaliso Wetland Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 23rd most-seen of the 43 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Only iSimangaliso Wetland Park, in our data
iSimangaliso Wetland Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Maputoland Dwarf Worm Lizard sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Maputoland Dwarf Worm Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in iSimangaliso Wetland Park (14 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.
