With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fringe-lipped Treefrog sighting in Tambopata National Reserve on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 35th most-seen of the 44 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and June–July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Fringe-lipped Treefrog in Tambopata National Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in February–May and September–December, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Fringe-lipped Treefrog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Fringe-lipped Treefrog sightings, Tambopata National Reserve ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve (Ecuador, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fringe-lipped Treefrog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Tambopata National Reserve (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.
