How GTA Online Wildlife Photography works
The LS Tourist Board sends a daily list of three animals. You can wait for the email on your phone or check the LS Tourist Board bulletin board near Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness. Track your daily progress in the Collectibles section of the Interaction Menu or at the LS Tourist Info board.
- Find the animal alive and get close using Snapmatic on your phone.
- Frame it well, with nothing blocking the shot. A player who ate a Peyote Plant and turned into that animal counts too.
- When the prompt appears, email the photo to the LS Tourism Board.
