The Barahona rock frog (Eleutherodactylus alcoae), or Hispaniola dwarf robber frog, is a species of frogs in the family Eleutherodactylidae that is endemic to southern Hispaniola. It is found on the Barahona Peninsula of the Dominican Republic and immediately adjacent coastal area in Haiti. Its natural habitat is dry scrub forest; by day it retreats into caves and rock crevices.
This frog is common in suitable habitat, but it is only known from three locations threatened by habitat loss. It occurs with the Jaragua National Park and Sierra de Bahoruco National Park, but significant habitat destruction occurs within these parks. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Barahona Rock Frog sighting in Jaragua National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and December
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Barahona Rock Frog in Jaragua National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, May–June, August–September and November, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Barahona Rock Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Jaragua National Park, in our data
Jaragua National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Barahona Rock Frog sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Barahona Rock Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Jaragua National Park (6 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.
