It is the 430th most-seen of the 748 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.

When is the best time to see an Obtuse Monkey in Kruger National Park?

December and January

In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Obtuse Monkey in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February to November, the lowest months. Those are among Kruger National Park's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain a month against almost none in August.

What time of day is best to see an Obtuse Monkey?

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Obtuse Monkey 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 Kruger National Park, in our data

Kruger National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Obtuse Monkey sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

Where does the Obtuse Monkey sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Obtuse Monkey is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (23 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.
