Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Low's Squirrel sighting in Sepilok on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 17th most-seen of the 23 mammals 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.
December
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Low's Squirrel in Sepilok on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April and June, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Low's Squirrel 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 Sepilok, in our data
Sepilok is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Low's Squirrel sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Sciuridae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Low's Squirrel is recorded against all the mammals logged in Sepilok (17 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.
