Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Rusty Toad sighting in Serra da Canastra National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Rusty Toad in Serra da Canastra National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–August and October–November, the lowest months. That is one of Serra da Canastra National Park's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against almost none in July.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rusty Toad sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Serra da Canastra National Park, in our data
Serra da Canastra National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rusty Toad sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rusty Toad is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Serra da Canastra National Park (5 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.
