Rhinella spinulosa is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae that is found in the Andean Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. Rhinella spinulosa has a wide altitudinal range, from the sea level to 5,100 m (16,700 ft) asl, and it occurs in a range of habitats: scrubland and grassland in the Andes, and forested areas in the more southern parts of its range; it has also been recorded from arable areas. It breeds in temporary ponds, altiplano lagoons, and slow flowing streams. Where it occurs it tends to be abundant. Wikipedia →

Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Warty Toad sighting in Lauca National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Warty Toad in Lauca National Park on a given day, against about 10% in January, June–July, September and November, the lowest months. That is one of Lauca National Park's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain against almost none in May. August has too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Warty Toad sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Lauca National Park, in our data
Lauca National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Warty Toad sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Warty Toad is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Lauca National 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.
