Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a Bornean Mountain Ground Squirrel sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 96 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the most-seen of the 18 mammals 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.
September and October
In those months about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Bornean Mountain Ground Squirrel in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against about 30% in July, the lowest month.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bornean Mountain Ground Squirrel sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Kinabalu Park, in our data
Kinabalu Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Bornean Mountain Ground Squirrel sightings: about 50% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bornean Mountain Ground Squirrel is recorded against all the mammals logged in Kinabalu Park (96 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.
