Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Sulawesi horseshoe bat sighting in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 7th most-seen of the 7 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.
May to July
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Sulawesi horseshoe bat in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sulawesi horseshoe bat sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Tangkoko Nature Reserve, in our data
Tangkoko Nature Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Sulawesi horseshoe bat sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sulawesi horseshoe bat is recorded against all the mammals logged in Tangkoko Nature Reserve (7 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.
