More parks will be added in future updates.
No species of the same family or order lives in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Very likely
About 70% of wildlife watchers report a Sulawesi Lined Gliding Lizard sighting in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, based on 96 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the most-seen of the 12 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–June, August and October
In those months about 80% of wildlife watchers report a Sulawesi Lined Gliding Lizard in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, against about 40% in January, the lowest month.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sulawesi Lined Gliding Lizard sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Lined Gliding Lizard sightings: about 70% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sulawesi Lined Gliding Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Tangkoko Nature Reserve (96 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.
