Player notes

After Franklin completes Paparazzo, Beverly sends him a text saying he has entered the Wildlife Photography Challenge. An email from the Los Santos Tourism Board follows, inviting Franklin to document Southern San Andreas' wildlife. The challenge is available to returning players in the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto V, and sends Franklin across San Andreas with the Snapmatic camera on his phone.

Franklin photographs 20 living animals, framing each one clearly in the centre of an unfiltered photograph before sending the image to the Los Santos Tourism Board. The subjects range from cats in Los Santos and dogs around Paleto Bay, Vinewood Hills, Del Perro Beach and Mirror Park to farm animals at Grapeseed Cow Farm. He also tracks wildlife through Sandy Shores, Blaine County's forests, rural areas, Vespucci Beach and the waters near Madrazo's Lock-up. Chop supplies the required Rottweiler photograph.

When Franklin has submitted every photograph, the Los Santos Tourism Board texts him to announce that he has won the competition. The Kraken submersible begins appearing at the Cape Catfish pier in the San Chianski Mountain Range.

Trivia

  • โ—†Mirror Park (and by extension the nearby Palomino Highlands/Tataviam Mountains/Murrieta Heights) spawns almost every animal needed to be photographed in a relatively dense area.
