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 theGTA 5 Wildlife Photography Challengefrom 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 theDeclasse Park Rangervehicle 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-inspiredThe Zoophilistoutfit to wear.

Animals arrived in Los Santos and Blaine County as part of theGTA 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.

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:

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, youcantravel 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 theContactprompt 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 toSend to LS Tourist Boardwill appear, and by following the prompt you’ll submit your image and tick that animal off your daily list.

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 theDeclasse Park Rangerfor 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 unlockThe Zoophilistoutfit 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.
