Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Alpine Stream Salamander sighting in Jiuzhaigou National Park on a given day, based on 7 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.
June and July
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Alpine Stream Salamander in Jiuzhaigou National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April, August, October and December–February, the lowest months. Those are among Jiuzhaigou National Park's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in December.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Alpine Stream Salamander sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Jiuzhaigou National Park, in our data
Jiuzhaigou National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Alpine Stream Salamander sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Alpine Stream Salamander is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Jiuzhaigou National Park (7 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.
