Pre-launch notice. These rows are pre-launch estimates. Rockstar confirmed means Rockstar names or describes the animal in official text or art descriptions. Spotted in official media means the animal is visible in an official Rockstar screenshot, and Rockstar has not identified it in accompanying text. Species, habitat, behavior, and gameplay details remain unconfirmed unless marked. These pages will be rebuilt with in-game verified information after the November 19, 2026 launch. Last checked: October 8, 2026.
The cover-art description names a gator in the water and a flamingo flying over a speedboat. Sightings stay generic descriptions of what a screenshot shows: a sea turtle and fish in Leonida Keys 04, a large green lizard in Leonida Keys 06, deer and a large tawny cat in Mount Kalaga National Park 05, and birds over Grassrivers 02. Use the written name when Rockstar gave one, and the generic description when the screenshot title does not.

Written names stay as written
Rockstar's cover-art description names a gator in the water and a flamingo flying over a speedboat. Those words are the identification. The text does not add a finer species, a habitat, or how either animal behaves in play.
A resemblance is not a name
Leonida Keys 06 shows a large green lizard on a coastal rock. It can look like an iguana. Mount Kalaga National Park 05 shows a large tawny cat beside the water with the deer. It can look like a cougar. Leave them as a large green lizard and a large tawny cat. Rockstar has not named either species.
Screenshot titles name the image
Leonida Keys 04 shows a sea turtle swimming near a diver, with fish around them. The fish have no species name, and the title does not name the turtle. Mount Kalaga National Park 05 shows several deer in a wooded pool, with no deer species named. Grassrivers 02 shows several birds in flight over the settlement, and the title does not name them.
Leonida Keys, Mount Kalaga National Park, and Grassrivers identify those images. They do not confirm a habitat, a spawn, or behavior in play.

No. Leonida Keys 06 shows a large green lizard on a coastal rock. A resemblance to an iguana is a visual comparison, and Rockstar has not named that species. The same limit applies to the large tawny cat in Mount Kalaga National Park 05 and a resemblance to a cougar.
