Over 170 species
Game Informer's cover story confirms more than 170 animal species across land, air and sea. Rockstar
| Group | Confirmed examples |
|---|---|
| Native | Flamingos, manatees, pelicans, alligators |
| Invasive | Green iguanas, cane toads, feral cats, rhesus macaques |
| Seen in screenshots | Dolphins, sea turtles, a raccoon, dogs, a bobcat |
Including invasive species is a very Florida touch: green iguanas and macaques really are a problem there. You can already spot an iguana crossing the street in Rockstar's Leonida Keys screenshot.
Wildlife tracking
Animals are sorted into tracking categories: Rare, Discoverable and Legendary. Rockstar Wildlife tracking is listed among the activities, so expect a collection to complete. We'll publish a full animal locations guide after launch.
Hunting
Hunting is confirmed, including gator hunting. Reported The best bets are Grassrivers (swamp and alligators) and Mount Kalaga National Park (forest and hunting trails).
Interacting with animals
Hold the trigger near an animal for Pet, Scold or Study. Reported Petting dogs also helps your criminal profile.
Weather
- Localised weather: rain in one area while another stays sunny. Rockstar
- Tropical storms and seasonal hurricanes.
- Puddles that persist, and rainbows after storms.
