How to Kill One of Every Species in Red Dead Redemption

The main character in "Red Dead Redemption," John Marston, is a Western hero who not only hunts for human bounties but animals, too. To earn the "Unnatural Selection" achievement, players must kill one of every animal species featured in the game. Domesticated animals such as dogs, cattle, pigs and owned horses are not included in this achievement, and killing one will put a bounty on your head. Wild horses, however, are necessary for this achievement. Because some animals are not available in certain areas of the map, this task is not possible until the later portion of the game when you can access all territories.

Instructions

- 1
  Walk out to a wooded area or open field, away from towns or settlements. If you wait in one area for any given period of time you will come into contact with multiple animals. Press the left trigger to bring up your currently equipped weapon and the right trigger to shoot the animal. Bigger animals require more bullets or stronger weapons, while smaller animals need only one shot from a revolver to kill.
- 2
  Activate your Dead Eye aiming to place your shots in areas that will kill faster, such as the head or the neck.
- 3
  Purchase bait from any general store or kill smaller animals to attract larger predators. Open your satchel menu to select the bait and then move away from the area where you placed the bait to wait for animals to show up.
- 4
  Open your map to get a better look at which animals inhabit which areas. When zoomed out the map has pictures of different animals in different areas, signifying their territories.
- 5
  Complete the eight master hunter challenges to unlock your opportunity to hunt Khan, the legendary jaguar. This is the only jaguar in the game and necessary for completion of this achievement. Open your challenge journal to see which tasks need to be completed and then travel to Oja de Diablo and look for Khan on the western side when the challenge becomes available.
