The aim of this study was to assess how information available in scientific databases combined with data from social media networks can be promising to fill existing geographic gaps in biodiversity, as there is a lack of information on the actual geographic distribution of many species for conservation studies. The scientific names of five emblematic Neotropical species were consulted as keywords in scientific databases and social media. The distribution of K. rupestris [SD=547; SM=21], P. bicolor [SD=326; SM=40] and T. teguixin [SD=580; SM=78] had a severe increase with social network data, whereas B. variegatus [SD=1186; SM=100] and C. caudata [SD=1470; SM=34], even though they show new data, they did not cover large new geographic areas. Neglecting social media data can result in the loss of relevant information for animal species conservation in Brazil.
