With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Clown Tree Frog sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 50th most-seen of the 67 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Clown Tree Frog in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July and December–April, the lowest months. That is one of Manu National Park's driest months, with about 90 mm of rain against 290 mm in February.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Clown Tree Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Manu National Park, in our data
Manu National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Clown Tree Frog sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Dendropsophus
The closest relatives of the Clown Tree Frog that you can see in Manu National Park (genus Dendropsophus, Yellow Tree Frogs) are Inotawa Tree Frog (about 20%), Red-skirted Tree Frog (about 20%) and Mottled Clown Treefrog (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Clown Tree Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Manu National Park (7 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.
