Description [ ]

After completing the first Strangers and Freaks mission for Beverly , you will receive a text message saying he's signed you up for the Wildlife Photography Challenge. At the same time, an email from the LS Tourist Board will arrive, giving you details. The animals must be photographed up close using Snapmatic on the phone, and must be centered in the frame, with no obstructions. Once photographed correctly, a prompt will appear to email the photo to the LS Tourism Board, whose contact info appears in Franklin's phone. If the animal being photographed is fleeing, stunning it with the Stun Gun can prove useful, though smaller animals like hens may be killed instantly.

Objective [ ]

There are a total of 20 animals to photograph. Players can track their progress under the General section of the Stats menu, where it is listed under "Wildlife photographs".

Email message [ ]

You've been nominated to take part in Southern San Andreas' premier amateur photography competition in the wildlife sector. You'll join hundreds of other young, talented hopefuls in getting heat stroke, poison ivy poisoning and, most importantly, giving your work away for free. For the first young photographer to document the whole array of Southern San Andreas' fauna - a life of underwater adventure and photography awaits.

Submissions are subject to the following rules:

• Only photograph submissions of living animals will be accepted
• Animals must be centered in the photograph.
• Photographs captured using camera filters or borders will not be eligible for submission
• Selfies are NOT eligible for submission
• All image rights are transferred to Tourist Board

Make your own chum, fill your glands with mountain lion pheromones, rub yourself in honey, and jack off in a bear pit. Do whatever it takes to get the shot of your life. And try not to get eaten, unless you've uploaded first. We can't wait to see (and steal) all your submissions.

LS Tourist Info

Once all the animals have been photographed, Franklin will receive a text message from the Los Santos Tourism Board , saying that he has won the competition.

The Kraken Sub will now spawn at the Cape Catfish pier in the San Chianski Mountain Range , and can also be purchased and driven at a dock should the player own one. A cheat that is able to spawn it is also available.

GTA Online animal locations for the LS Tourist Board

All of the animal locations in GTA Online so you can complete Shoot Animals Photography challenges for the LS Tourist Board

The GTA Online animal locations have been generating a lot of interest, as they're now required for the Shoot Animals Photography challenge and associated daily collectibles that are requested by the LS Tourist Board. These are closely related to the GTA 5 Wildlife Photography Challenge from the single player story, with three different animals selected at random as your targets each day, which you then need to track down and take photos of to complete your checklist. Photograph at least one animal and the Declasse Park Ranger vehicle will be unlocked for purchase from Warstock Cache & Carry, and the first time you submit all three photo assignments in a daily set you'll also unlock the Ace Ventura-inspired The Zoophilist outfit to wear.

Animals arrived in Los Santos and Blaine County as part of the GTA Online Chop Shop update , though they are exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series so only players on those formats can take on the associated challenges. If you want to find animals in GTA Online to complete Shoot Animals Photography challenges, then here's where you need to look.

GTA Online animal locations map

I have found success looking for animals in GTA Online at the marked locations above, though as the spawns are random these are not guaranteed and there are multiple other locations where they could appear:

• Chicken-Hawk
• Great Cormorant
• Mountain Lion

These correspond with the locations used in the Wildlife Photography Challenge during the single player story, though not all dog breeds are included online.

For some more general guidance, you're most likely to find domesticated animals around the city or suburbs, with dogs tending to be in back yards or walked down the streets. When tracking wild animals, try to keep your distance and use the zoom on your camera, otherwise you risk scaring them off or being attacked – if you're having trouble seeing them, a weapon with a thermal scope may help pick them out from the undergrowth. If necessary, leave an area completely then return to improve the chances of the right animal spawning.

Each day, there are three GTA Online animals that the LS Tourist Board want you to photograph, and only those will count towards the Shoot Animals Photography Daily Collectibles that can now be found through the Interaction Menu. To find out which animals they require, you can travel all the way to the physical LS Tourist Board marked towards the northwest corner your map and interact with it, but it's much easier to hover over the icon on the map then follow the Contact prompt which appears, which will then generate an email containing a checklist of the three animals you need to photograph.

Once you've visited one of the GTA Online animal locations and spotted your target, quickly activate the Snapmatic app on your phone (press up on the d-pad twice in a row to go straight to it) then point it at the animal and take a photo. If you've successfully captured a wanted creature then the option to Send to LS Tourist Board will appear, and by following the prompt you'll submit your image and tick that animal off your daily list.

Shoot Animals photography rewards in GTA Online

For each successful photograph of GTA Online animals you submit to the LS Tourist Board you'll receive GTA$20,000 and 500 RP, with an additional GTA$40,000 bonus paid if you send all three photos in a daily set. After submitting one photo you'll unlock the Declasse Park Ranger for purchase from Warstock Cache & Carry, and once you've sent 10 photos you'll gain access to the discounted trade price for it. Finally, the first time you submit all three photos in a daily set you'll unlock The Zoophilist outfit pictured above, styled on Jim Carrey's appearance as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, which you can access through your wardrobe by going through the Outfits > Outfits: Special options.

Share All sharing options for: Animal locations list in GTA Online

aAnimals arrived in GTA Online 10 years after the game’s release. And now, the Los Santos Tourist Board has a daily mission to photograph three animals each (real world) day.

Our in-progress guide for where to find animals in GTA Online will give you maps for where to find 13 of the 15 animals that might show up in the Shoot Animals LS Tourist Board mission.

GTA Online animals list

Animals arrived in Los Santos with the Chop Shop update. Each real-world day, the LS Tourist Board selects three kinds of animal from a list of 15 for you to photograph. You’ll get an email to your phone with the list.

The available animals are:

• Chicken Hawk
• Great Commorant
• Mountain Lion

The animals do have to be alive when you take the photo, so you’ll usually have to sneak up on them to get a good picture.

GTA Online animal spawn locations

Animals in GTA Online spawn in general areas, so treat the maps below as places to start looking, not exact locations. Beyond that, when an animal spawns, it has a set route that it will follow. Sometimes, they’ll just hang out to get a drink, while other spawns will follow a set path to a different location.

Animals also have rules about when they spawn that have to do with time of day and the weather. Cats, for example, don’t spawn in the rain. We’ll try to note these rules below.

Where to find boars in GTA Online

Boars tend to show up in out-of-the-way and hilly areas during the day . A good place to look for a boar is behind the abandoned motel in Sandy Shores .

Boars will run away as you approach them, so make sure to crouch.

Where to find cats in GTA Online

Cats are pretty common in the more urban areas of Los Santos, especially in the alleys off of main roads. Look for them when it’s not raining and, usually (but not always), in the daytime . You’ll often see them along the roads in Vinewood Hills , and there’s almost always one on the low wall east of the store in Sandy Shores .

Where to find chicken hawks in GTA Online

Chicken hawks are nondescript birds that you’ll often find soaring around Los Santos. You can tell them apart from other birds — like great cormorants and seagulls — by their short necks and broad wings.

If you can make it to the peak of Mount Chiliad , you’ll always find several of them circling around. If you don’t feel like trekking all the way out there, there are usually several of them above the airport on the southeastern shore of Alamo Sea near Sandy Shores .

Where to find cows in GTA Online

Unsurprisingly, you’ll mostly find cows on farms, not in the city itself.

You can find some at the farm southeast of the Redwood Lights Track in the Grand Senora Desert. There are several larger farms in the Grapeseed neighborhood on the northeastern shore of the Alamo Sea.

Where to find coyotes in GTA Online

It’s hard to pin down the best place to look for coyotes in GTA Online because they’re just kind of everywhere. You’ll find them along basically every road that’s not in Los Santos proper, day or night .

The area all around the Alamo Sea is a good place to look — it’s flat and the vegetation is pretty sparse, so the coyotes are easier to spot. Try the beach on the south side near Sandy Shores or the northeast by Grapeseed .

Where to find crows in GTA Online

There are only three places that crows spawn in GTA Online — in the east near Sandy Shores , Lago Zancudo in the west, and the peak of Mount Chiliad . They seem to only appear during the day .

Where to find deer in GTA Online

Deer, like coyotes, can be found basically everywhere that’s not the city. You’ll find them during the day along basically every rural road — just not in the desert south of the Alamo Sea . They don’t seem to spawn during rain and will always run away when you get too close.

Where to find great cormorants in GTA Online

Great cormorants only spawn in a few places in GTA Online . The best place to find them is Lago Zancudo in the west. Cormorants have long necks, making them easy to distinguish from chicken, hawks, and crows. You’ll spot them both flying and standing along water.

Where to find hens in GTA Online

Hens are another barnyard creature, so you’ll have to head to the rural areas of GTA Online to find them. During the day , head to the area south of Sandy Shores or up around Paleto Bay , and look for houses with chicken coops (or just chickens) in the yard.

Where to find mountain lions in GTA Online

Mountain lions spawn in some of the more wild areas of GTA Online . They’re more common at night and also extremely aggressive, so you’ll have to be careful snapping their picture.

The hiking trails on and around Mount Chiliad and the dirt road leading down to Catfish View are good places to check.

Where to find pigs in GTA Online

Pigs aren’t the same as the wild boars you see around the island. These are the farm animals and, as such, you’ll again be heading to the more rural areas of Los Santos and Blaine County.

For a picture of a pig, you’ll have to head to farms around Sandy Shores and Grapeseed — the areas around the Great Senora Desert and Alamo Sea — during the day .

Where to find poodles in GTA Online

Poodles (and pugs) are pets that you’ll find walking the streets of Los Santos during the day . For poodles, check the West Vinewood neighborhood along the north edge of Los Santos proper or Del Perro Beach on the west shore.

Where to find pugs in GTA Online

Pugs, like poodles, are pets that you’ll find on sidewalks in Los Santos neighborhoods during the day . Pugs are more common in the northwest of Los Santos in Richman and Rockford Hills .

Where to find rabbits in GTA Online

Rabbits are another creature that’s pretty ubiquitous throughout the rural areas of GTA Online — basically, you’ll find them anywhere that isn’t Los Santos or the desert. They’re small and they can be hard to spot, so look for them during the day when it’s not raining. And make sure you sneak up on them because they’re very skittish (and have a tendency to run into traffic).

Where to find seagulls in GTA Online

Not surprisingly, you’ll find seagulls along the coast — both along the ocean and the Alamo Sea — during the day . Good places to look are Del Perro Beach , Paleto Bay , Procopio Beach , and Sandy Shores .

The next level of puzzles.

Take a break from your day by playing a puzzle or two! We’ve got SpellTower, Typeshift, crosswords, and more.

GTA Online animal locations for Wildlife Photography Challenge

A new daily challenge has come to Grand Theft Auto Online that requires players to snap pictures of animals throughout Los Santos and the surrounding wilderness.

By completing the daily “Shoot Animals Photography” challenge from the LS Tourist Board, GTA Online players can earn cash and other free rewards.

All GTA Online Animal Locations

While there are way more animals throughout Los Santos and Blaine County, there are 15 possible animals that you can get for your daily Wildlife Photography Challenge in GTA Online.

• Chicken Hawk
• Great Cormorant
• Mountain Lion

GTA Online Boar Locations

While boars aren’t the most common animals in GTA Online, they are some of the easiest to spot since they’re so big and they move so slowly. You’ll have to travel to the northern half of the map to find them. They spawn most commonly in Sandy Shores. You can find them elsewhere, but they’re easiest to find in Sandy Shores since there aren’t any places for them to hide.

GTA Online Cat Locations

Cats are some of the most common animals in GTA Online and you can find them anywhere in Los Santos. The best place to find a cat is in Strawberry, the neighborhood where Franklin lives. Stray cats are all over Strawberry and you can see them lounging on fences or sneaking around bushes throughout the neighborhood. All in all, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding one as long as you drive slowly through the city.

GTA Online Chicken Hawk Locations

Finding any of the required birds for the Shoot Animals Photography challenge is a pain, but Chicken Hawks are the easiest avians to locate. They live almost exclusively in the northern half of the map. To save yourself the headache, just climb Mount Chilliad and scout the skies for Chicken Hawks up there. You can also drive through Sandy Shores since that’s a popular spawn location for them.

GTA Online Cow Locations

Cows aren’t common in GTA Online, but they’re super easy to find since they only spawn on farms in a handful of spots. There’s a farm just north of Sandy Shores with a bunch of cows, and you can also find a smaller farm in Vinewood Hills just outside of Los Santos across the highway from Martin Madrazo’s compound.

GTA Online Coyote Locations

Coyotes can be found basically anywhere outside of Los Santos in GTA Online. You’ll likely find a few while driving along the highway that leads to Sandy Shores and Paleto Bay, but the absolute best place to find them is Sandy Shores itself. There’s always one or two stalking the small town’s streets, and their cries make them very easy to find from afar.

GTA Online Deer Locations

Deer are super easy to find in GTA Online. They tend to jump in front of your car when you’re driving and they’re also some of the first animals you’ll see when you go for a hike in the northern wilderness. Deer tend to spawn quite frequently on the hiking trails along the western highway leading to Paleto Bay, and you’re just about guaranteed to find a few if you follow the trail that begins at the LS Tourist Board.

GTA Online Great Cormorant Locations

These birds are the bane of my existence. Great Cormorants are very hard to find and only appear in a handful of very specific locations in GTA Online. A bunch of guides will tell you to search the Grand Senora Desert to find them, but that’s not the best spot. You’re basically guaranteed to find Great Cormorants flying in the air to the west of Martin Madrazo’s compound.

To the west of Madrazo’s compound, there are a few hills where Great Cormorants like to flock. I typically have the best luck finding them on the hills overlooking the prison. If that doesn’t work, then they also spawn on the hills just east of the LS Tourist Board, but not as frequently.

GTA Online Hen Locations

Hens don’t have too many spawn locations in GTA Online, but like most other livestock, they can be found at farms across the map. There are a handful of hens located in Paleto Bay at the northern edge of the map, and a small farm in Sandy Shores also has a few. There are even hens in Los Santos at a select few houses in Strawberry if you check their backyards.

GTA Online Mountain Lion Locations

Mountain lions are very easy to find in GTA Online since they tend to attack you before you can see them. They can be found anywhere on the map, but the best places to find them are the hiking trails near the LS Tourist Board, the highway leading east out of Los Santos, and the eastern highway near Sandy Shores.

Getting a picture of them can be tricky since they’re so aggressive, but remember that you can snap pictures from the safety of your car. Also, you can jump onto the roof of your car and they won’t be able to attack you if it’s large enough.

GTA Online Pig Locations

To find pigs in GTA Online, just visit the same places where you’d find cows and hens. There are two major pig farms in GTA Online. The first is located along the highway leading north out of Los Santos to the west of Madrazo’s compound. The second is across the bay from Sandy Shores.

GTA Online Poodle Locations

Poodles only have one spawn location in GTA Online, but they always spawn with a person walking them. They appear in Rockford Hills, the wealthy neighborhood on the northern side of Los Santos where Michael lives. To find a poodle, just slowly cruise through the neighborhood and keep an eye on the sidewalks.

GTA Online Pug Locations

Like poodles, pugs are also found in Rockford Hills in GTA Online. The same principle applies here. Pugs will always have someone walking them, so check every NPC on the sidewalks for a canine companion. They can be hard to spot since they’re so small, so drive slowly.

GTA Online Rabbit Locations

Rabbits are by far the most common animal in GTA Online. You shouldn’t have any trouble finding one. Rabbits spawn most commonly at transitional areas that lead into the wilderness, so they show up a lot at the beginning of trails right off the highway. Snapping a picture of them can be difficult, so walk slowly and take the photo before you spook them.

GTA Online Seagull Locations

Seagulls are the easiest birds to find in GTA Online since they’re guaranteed to show up in their respective spawn locations. As you’d expect, seagulls live along the coast. The absolute best place to find them is Vespucci Beach on the western coast of Los Santos, but you can also find them along the highway that wraps around the north of the map.

GTA Online Shoot Animals Photography Rewards

Each day, you can visit the LS Tourist Board to receive three new animal photography targets. Each successful photo that you snap will reward you with $20,000. After taking your first picture, the Park Ranger vehicle will be unlocked at Warstock Cache & Carry. Taking 10 photos will unlock the trade price for the Park Ranger. Once you take three pictures, you’ll unlock the special Zoophilist outfit for free.

Unfortunately, this activity is only available on the next-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of Grand Theft Auto Online since wildlife isn’t available on other platforms, not even PC. Even though some platforms missed out on animals, all platforms did receive the recent Chop Shop update, though. If you’re interested, you can purchase your own Salvage Yard and take on daring vehicle robberies with returning character Yusuf Amir.

GTA 5 Online Animal Photography Challenge: Best Place to Find All Animal Locations

You can money, XP, and the Zoophilist outfit by taking daily photos of three out of 15 different animals during the Shoot Animals Photography Challenge. To help you find them faster, I’ve provided maps of their locations and noted the best places to find all animals in GTA Online .

How to Start the Shoot Animals Photography Challenge and Take Pictures in GTA Online

To start the Shoot Animals Photography Challenge, answer the call from the LS Tourist Board . You must use the Snapmatic app on your mobile phone to take pictures of three random animals and email them to the LS Tourist Board. If you do everything right, you’ll be rewarded with the following items:

• $20,000 and 500 RP for each photograph.
• $40,000 and 5,000 RP for completing a list.
• Park Ranger trade price.
• Zoophilist Outfit inspired by Ace Ventura character.

Where to Find All Animal Locations in GTA Online for the Animal Photography Challenge

Best boar locations.

The best place to find boars for the GTA Online Animal Photography Challenge is around the Paleto Forest Sawmill . But I also recommend checking out the following areas, as well:

• Grand Senora Desert.
• North Chumash.
• Great Chaparral.

Best Cat Locations

If you want to find cats, then be sure to visit any of the alleyways in Los Santos . I’d specifically look at such areas as:

Best Chicken Hawk Locations

Chicken Hawks mostly tend to fly in two areas: Blaine County and Martin Madrazo’s Lock-up in Grand Senora Desert . But be sure to check out the following places, too:

• Mount Chiliad.
• Zancudo river.
• San Chianski Mountain Range.

Best Cow Locations

Most cows can be seen at the Grapeseed Cow Farm . If you go there, you’ll definitely find some. There’s really no other place like it on the map, though you can try the following locations:

• Baytree Canyon.
• Orchardville.

Best Coyote Locations

Coyotes like to roam desert GTA Online ‘s regions, but you’ll have the best luck at Sandy Shores . Of course, make your way to these areas for more coyote pictures:

• Banham Canyon.

Best Crow Locations

Finding Crows for the Animal Photography Challenge is actually very rare , although you may see them flying over San Andreas . But if you don’t want to spend too much time looking for them, be sure to visit these two locales:

• Lago Zancudo.
• Sandy Shores.

Best Deer Locations

Deer love roaming forests and wild areas, but you’ll have the best chance of seeing them at Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness and Paleto Forest . Other areas where you can find deer include:

• Fort Zancudo.
• Zancudo River.
• Raton Canyon.

Best Great Cormorant Locations

Great Cormorants are rather rare birds, similar to crows and chicken hawks. But they love flocking around Lago Zancudo the most. Some other areas worth checking out are:

• Mirror Park.
• Murrieta Heights.

Best Hen Locations

Grapeseed Farms is full of hens and the best place to snap a pic of them for the GTA Online Animal Photography Challenge. You can also occasionally find hens at:

• RON Alternates Wind Farm.

Best Mountain Lion Locations

Mountain Lions usually spawn in the mountains. These animals especially love Mount Gordo, but you’d have to go up to the very top to see one . Other mounts that I recommend checking are:

• San Chanski Mountain Range.
• Mount Josiah.

Best Pig Locations

Just like hens and cows, Grapeseed has the largest amount of pig farms in GTA Online . Occasionally, you can find some more pigs at:

• Alamo Shores.

Best Poodle Locations

Poodles love the city of Los Santos, especially areas like Del Perro Beach, Vinewood Boulevard, and Rockford Hills . But they may roam other areas, including:

• East Vinewood.

Best Pug Locations

Pugs, on the other hand, are far rarer than poodles, and are another entry in the Animal Photography Challenge I don’t suggest relying on for pictures. But if you want to snag a picture of the cute dogs, you can spot a few pugs around Rockford Hills, Mirror Park, and Vespucci Beach . Some other places to look would be:

• Marathon Avenue.
• Red Desert Avenue.

Best Rabbit Locations

As for the rabbits, these creatures are literally everywhere in rural areas , so you can’t miss them. I suggest going for denser spots, such as:

• Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness.

Best Seagull Locations

Seagulls are marine birds that can be spotted anywhere near ocean shores and beaches. But I discovered that gulls especially love to flock around the Elysian Island . Also, be sure to visit the following areas:

• Vespucci Beach.
• Del Perro Beach.
• Procopio Beach.

That’s my guide on the best places to find all the animals in GTA Online . You shouldn’t have any issues finding hens, cows, pigs, or boar, though, as I mentioned, crows may prove troublesome. Stay tuned for more GTAO tips and tricks articles, including how to get a police car or where to find Salavage Yards .

Wildlife Photography Challenge in GTA V

Where to Find and How to Take Photos of All 20 Animals in Grand Theft Auto V

Those players who previously played GTA V on PS3 or Xbox 360, and now play on PS4, Xbox One or PC with their Social Club profile, can participate in the Wildlife Photography Challenge. After completing the mission of Beverly Felton “Paparazzo”, Franklin will receive a letter with the details.

Changes for Non-Returning Players

With the release of the Los Santos Tuners Update, this quest appears to be available to all players on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. There have been no official statements from the developers in this regard.

In total it’s required to take 20 photos. You need to take photos with your cellphone using the Snapmatic application. If the snapshot of the animal has turned out to be nice, an additional option will appear in the menu. You need to click “Square” on PS4, “X” on Xbox One or Space on PC, then select LS Tourist Board from the contact list and send them a photo. In response, a letter with a checklist will appear where the photographed animals are marked.

The appearance of animals is not always strictly predetermined, but certain regularities exist. Also, it should be borne in mind that when you driving fast, you can meet mainly wild animals, such as deer, rabbits, coyotes, etc. To meet, for example, dogs, it is necessary to walk leisurely on foot on territory where they appear.

Chicken-hawk, cormorant, crow  — can be found in a mountainous area. If you find one of the birds, most likely, you will find the other two in the same place. The requirements for a photo of a hawk are higher, it needs to be photographed larger than the other two birds.

Hen  — can be found in several places in the countryside and only during the daytime. In the screenshot — a farmhouse in the Grand Senora Desert. Next to it, you can usually also photograph a boar, as well as the birds mentioned above.

Seagull  — can be found near the ocean along the coastline.

Wild Animals

Boar  — can be found in wild places and in the countryside. Almost certainly will be at the farmhouse in Grand Senora Desert, where you can also take pictures of hen, cormorant, crow, and hawk.

Coyote  — in the desert area, you can often meet it at the side of the road. In this case, the coyote will always try to escape from Franklin, so you can shoot it from the stun gun and take a good photo while the animal recovers. Apparently, the coyote sustains an unlimited number of shots from the stun gun and doesn’t die. An alternative is to track down the coyote so that it doesn’t notice Franklin and take a picture from a long distance.

Deer  — found in a wooded area, quickly escapes upon detection Franklin. To take a good photo, you need to track down the deer, without frightening it, and shot it from afar.

Mountain lion  — can be found all over San Andreas in a wooded area. The lion must be tracked so that he does not notice Franklin and does not attack. An easier way is to take a photo from there, where the lion will not get Franklin. You can stay on the roof of the car or into the water to the waist.

Rabbit  — it is widely distributed in forests and any other area where there is wild grass. Rabbits aren’t too fast, so it’s easy to take a good photo.

Domestic Animals

Cat  — many of them at an abandoned hotel in Sandy Shores. However, cats can be found in many alleyways of Los Santos. For example, you can find two cats in Strawberry near the first Franklin’s house.

Cow and pig  — you can find them on farms during the daytime and photograph both animals at once.

Small dogs: Poodle, Pug, West Highland Terrier  — come to Rockford Hills to the Vangelico jewelry store. In this lane and nearby in the daytime there is always one of three necessary breeds, but only one at a time — even if there are a lot of dogs, they will all be of the same breed. There are no problems here, just go to another area and then go back. Most likely, there will be dogs of another breed.

Big dogs: Border Collie, Husky, Retriever, Rottweiler  — to take a photo of the Rottweiler, it’s easiest to take a picture of Chop, because Its location is always known and he is accessible even at night. All other large dogs can be found at daylight on the site in Vinewood Hills (see the screenshot). If there is no necessary breed, the scheme of action is the same as with miniature dogs. Also in the screenshots, you can find the places where the Border Collie and Husky appear.

After sending all 20 photos, Franklin will receive a letter from the LS Tourist Board with gratitude and the opportunity to use the Kraken bathyscaphe, which will be at the pier on the east coast of San Andreas. The bathyscaphe is indicated on the map by the icon of the submarine, and all three protagonists can use it.

GTA V Wildlife Photography Challenge Guide – All Animal Locations

this GTA V Wildlife Photography Challenge guide will make it easier for players to find them and complete the challenge in GTA V.

One of the new additions, exclusive to the PS4 and Xbox One version of GTA V are the Wildlife Photography missions which collectively make up the GTA V Wildlife Photography Challenge that sees players taking pictures on different animals located in different parts of the map and this guide will help you on how to locate the animals and how to complete the wildlife photography challenge.

After completing the first Paparazzo Strangers and Freaks mission, players receive a text from Beverly telling them that their name has been sent for GTA V Wildlife Photography Challenge and this GTA V Wildlife Photography Challenge guide will help you with all the animal locations and their photographs.

GTA V Wildlife Photography Challenge

Players have to find 20 animals across the map and take their pictures for GTA V Wildlife Photography Challenge. Successful completion rewards them with the Kraken Submarine. Players can send the photos as soon as they take them to LS Tourist Info to check that specific animal off the list.

Some of the animals from the list are pretty basic ones like cats or dogs who can be found roaming the city streets but there are some which can be pretty challenging to locate the ones in the Wild. Hopefully, this GTA V Wildlife Photography Challenge guide will make it easier for players to find them and complete the list.

Boar Boar can be found in the Grand Senora Desert, on the trail just southeast of the Redwood Lights Track. Instead of walking around and looking for it, which might scare the animal away, players should wait at one spot until the boar comes near

Cow Cow can also be found in the same location as the boar, in a grassy field inside the desert. Once players have taken the picture of both, they can send it to LS Tourist Info to check them off the list

Border Collie Dog can be found sitting at the corner of Prosperity Street in Vespucci Canals area while his owner checks out the nearby shop

Cat Cat can be seen walking down a street in West Vinewood and then curling up to sleep in a driveway

Chicken-Hawk Found flying by the dirt track off the east highway out of Vinewood Hills.

Cormorant A cormorant can be found in the same place as the chicken-hawk if players wait patiently

Coyote Coyotes can be found in the Grand Senora Desert just south of Trevor’s airstrip. It’s better to approach them at night since they are most probably resting at this time while approaching them during day time requires stealth or coyotes will run away.

Crow Crows can also be seen flying in the Grand Senora Desert, near the coyotes. Most commonly seen just north of the airstrip.

Deer They can be seen grazing in the forested area at the base of Mount Chilliad. Deers have keen senses so players need to sneak up to them to take a proper picture or they will run away

Hen Hens can be found next to a hutch in the back garden of a house in Paleto Bay.

Husky Husky can be found in the back garden of the Richman Mansion. Players visit the mansion during the Rich Men in Richman GTA Online mission but the mansion plays no part in the singleplayer story. The dog however does appear in the singleplayer.

Retriever The retriever also appears in the same mansion as the husky so players might need to revisit the place multiple times until they have the picture of both breeds

Mountain Lion Lions can be found wandering the cliffs in the Banham Canyon of Tongva Hills. It’s important to take a vehicle such as a car or a jeep here so players can climb on to it and take the picture. If they stand on the ground, the lion might attack. If players fail to submit the photo before being attacked, the submission doesn’t count.

Pig As expected, the pigs can be found in the pig sty on a farm in the Great Chaparral area.

Poodle Poodle can be found on the loop in the streets in Morningwood, close to the Richman mansion.

Pug Pug is in the same area, the street loop near Richman mansion, just like the poodle so players might need to revisit the area

West Highland Terrier This is the third dog which can be found on the same street like the pug and poodle. Only one of these animals appears at a time so players need to visit the area multiple times until they have the pictures of all three breeds.

Rabbit Rabbits can be seen hopping around on the hills of the park north of Franklin’s Vinewood Hills house. Players need to take the picture from a distance as even a stealth approach will scare them away if players get too close.

Rottweiler Franklin’s personal dog, Chop fits the bill for this. Players can just go to Franklin’s house in Vinewood Hills and take the picture

Seagull A lot of seagulls fly around the Dell Perro Pier and Beach area. Players can take the picture when they land on the pier but they need to be careful and not get too close or the seagulls will fly away.

That is all for our GTA V Wildlife Photography Challenge guide with tips on all animal locations in GTA V.
