For the side mission in Grand Theft Auto Online, see Shoot Animals Photography Challenge.
Wildlife Photography Challenge is an exclusive side mission for Franklin in the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto V for players returning from the PS3 or Xbox 360 edition. Completing it rewards the player with the Kraken submersible.
Description[]
After completing the first Strangers and Freaks mission for Beverly, you will receive a text message saying he's signed you up for the Wildlife Photography Challenge. At the same time, an email from the LS Tourist Board will arrive, giving you details. The animals must be photographed up close using Snapmatic on the phone, and must be centered in the frame, with no obstructions. Once photographed correctly, a prompt will appear to email the photo to the LS Tourism Board, whose contact info appears in Franklin's phone. If the animal being photographed is fleeing, stunning it with the Stun Gun can prove useful, though smaller animals like hens may be killed instantly.
Objective[]
There are a total of 20 animals to photograph. Players can track their progress under the General section of the Stats menu, where it is listed under "Wildlife photographs".

- Some of our photographers fell off cliffs.
- A few got eaten by mountain lions.
- A couple overdosed on peyote.
- But only one of them sent us photos of all the animals on our list and signed over the image rights without question. That young photographer was you. Congratulations!
- You have won a new limited edition Kraken Submersible.
- It's waiting at the jetty in the San Chianski Mountain Range.
- It is clear to us here at the Tourist Board that you possess a rare gift for capturing the living essence of animals in your photographic work, and an endearing lack of commercial aspiration. Since you've traversed the landmass of Southern San Andreas in your search for images for our calendars, stamps, an mouse mats, we'd love you to continue your adventures in the seas. And we mean it when we say we can't wait to find new ways to take advantage of your talents in the future.
- Sincerely,
- Everyone in the Southern San Andreas and Los Santos Tourist Board family.
