With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sarayacu Tree Frog sighting in Yasuní National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 35th most-seen of the 49 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.
February–March and October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Sarayacu Tree Frog in Yasuní National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–September and November–January, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sarayacu Tree Frog 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.
Only Yasuní National Park, in our data
Yasuní National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Sarayacu Tree Frog sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Dendropsophus
The closest relatives of the Sarayacu Tree Frog that you can see in Yasuní National Park (genus Dendropsophus, Yellow Tree Frogs) are Upper Amazon Tree Frog (about 20%), Marbled Tree Frog (about 10%) and Variable Clown Tree Frog (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sarayacu Tree Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Yasuní National Park (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.
