Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Betsileo Reed Frog sighting in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 8th most-seen of the 14 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and April
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Betsileo Reed Frog in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May, September and November–February, the lowest months.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Betsileo Reed Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Ranomafana National Park, in our data
Ranomafana National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Betsileo Reed Frog sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Betsileo Reed Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Ranomafana National Park (9 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.
