About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Guthega Skink sighting in Kosciuszko National Park on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 8th most-seen of the 20 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Only Kosciuszko National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Guthega Skink is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Kosciuszko National Park (35 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.
