Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Werner's Bush Anole sighting in Machalilla National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 13th most-seen of the 13 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Werner's Bush Anole in Machalilla National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to February, the lowest months. That is one of Machalilla National Park's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain against 5 mm in September.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Werner's Bush Anole 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 Machalilla National Park, in our data
Machalilla National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Werner's Bush Anole sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Werner's Bush Anole is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Machalilla National Park (5 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.
