About the Kinabalu Slender Toad

Ansonia hanitschi (common name: Kadamaian stream toad) is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to mountains of Borneo and found in both Malaysia (Sarawak and Sabah) and Indonesia (northern Kalimantan).

Its natural habitats are submontane and montane forests. It inhabits the forest floor. Breeding takes place in clear, rocky mountain streams. It is threatened by habitat loss (siltation of streams needed for larval development, clearance of forests for cultivation). Wikipedia →

Where does the Kinabalu Slender Toad sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Kinabalu Slender Toad is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Kinabalu Park (58 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.
