For the GTA 5 Wildlife Photography Challenge, you’ll need to take more than great cat pics. Complete this side mission by photographing some cute creatures and you’ll unlock the Kraken submarine for any underwater expeditions, but first, you’ll have to find a particular Strangers and Freaks side mission. Doing so will get you the challenge to photograph 20 different animals, from wildlife to pets. Snap them all and the Kraken Sub is yours. So let’s take a look at exactly which animals you need to snap and where you can find them to complete the GTA 5 Wildlife Photography Challenge.
Complete the Paparazzi Strangers and Freaks mission with Franklin
To get started, you need to complete the first Paparazzi Strangers and Freaks mission with Franklin, which is triggered in West Vinewood. With that done, you’ll receive a message from Beverly telling you that he’s signed you up for a photography competition in GTA 5, after which an email will come in from Los Santos Tourist Info. This contains a list of 20 animals that you need to snap a picture of for the grand prize – the Kraken Submarine! Take a clear shot of each one, email it to LS Tourist Info, and you’ll be a step closer to finishing the GTA 5 Wildlife Photography Challenge.
Once you’ve started the mission it’s basically a case of finding and photographing all the animals you need find. To do that simply work your way through this list of creatures and follow the maps to each location.
