GTA 5 Wildlife Photography locations map

The GTA 5 Online Wildlife Photography Challenge has started for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players, and everyone is wandering around the map searching for all the animals on the list. While some like dogs and cows are easy to spot, others may need hours to find and photograph. This means a lot of wasted time and effort that can be used somewhere else.

Well, walking around the forest searching for animals is quite a fun task, but since some of the creatures can spawn across the map, players may find themselves frustrated. So, this article aims to ease the situation and provide the best locations to photograph all the animals for the event.

This will not only save them time, but also ensure that the pictures are good and that they complete the event and unlock the rewards.

Since the challenge requires you to travel across the map and also head down rough terrain, you can purchase the Declasse Park Ranger from the in-game store. It will unlock once you photograph at least one animal from the list. This vehicle will make exploring the wilderness much more fun and offer more immersion if you like role-playing.

In other news, the Peyote Plants are back in the game for a while, allowing you to transform into animals and roam around the map.
