About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Desert Gracile Anole sighting in Jaragua National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 5th most-seen of the 9 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Only Jaragua National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Desert Gracile Anole is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Jaragua National Park (9 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.
