With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Harlequin Tree Frog sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 39th most-seen of the 40 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June–July and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Harlequin Tree Frog in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–May and September–November, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Harlequin Tree Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Harlequin Tree Frog sightings, Kinabalu Park ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Danum Valley Conservation Area (Malaysia, about 50%), Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary (Malaysia, about 30%) and Sepilok (Malaysia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Harlequin Tree Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Kinabalu 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.
