Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Smooth Knob-tail sighting in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 8th most-seen of the 25 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, June and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Smooth Knob-tail in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, April–May and July–September, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Smooth Knob-tail 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 Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, in our data
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Smooth Knob-tail sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Smooth Knob-tail is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (14 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.
