Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Madagascar Frog sighting in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 14 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and April
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Madagascar Frog in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–September and November–December, the lowest months. Those are among Ranomafana National Park's wettest months, with about 310 mm of rain a month against 80 mm in September.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eastern Madagascar Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Ranomafana National Park, in our data
Ranomafana National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eastern Madagascar 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 Eastern Madagascar Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Ranomafana 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.
