No species of the same family or order lives in Mantadia National Park, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Madagascar Water Snake sighting in Mantadia National Park on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 7th most-seen of the 15 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and December
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Madagascar Water Snake in Mantadia National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January and June–August, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eastern Madagascar Water Snake sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Mantadia National Park, in our data
Mantadia National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eastern Madagascar Water Snake sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eastern Madagascar Water Snake is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Mantadia National Park (16 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.
