The key here is to kill animal species. It's been proved that the four legendary animals are NOT required for this. Also, you do not need to skin the animals, just kill them. I've taken out domesticated animals and put them in a separate group at the bottom.
To find out what you have killed, press Start > Stats > Misc
List: Armadillo Bear -Tanners Reach Beaver - Northeast of the word Cochinay along the river. Also look south of Tall Trees in Bear claw camp (you have to zoom in real close to see the name, below Manzanita post). Bighorn Sheep - Between Rattlesnake Hollw and Pleasance House Boar - Can be found in pens at the most Nothern point on the map, in the snow mountains near an abandoned fort there. Bobcat - Southwest Mexico, go to the bottom left corner of the map; around Escalera and Nosalida. Also found in the Northeastern part of the Great Plains. Buffalo - Great Plains Cougar - Southwest of Fort Mercer, Southeast of Repentance Rock Coyote Crow Deer/Buck Duck - South of Gaptooth Breach, west of the Scratching Post along the water line. Also found around Lake Don Julio. Eagle - Tall Trees Elk - Tall Trees Fox - Tall Trees and Great Plains Hawk Horse - Wild Owl Rabbit Raccoon - Must hunt at night as they are nocturnal, seen around Armadillo and packs in the Great Plains. Seagull - Near Blackwater, you can hear its distinctive sound Skunks - Around Armadillo Snake - Found all over, be sure to listen for the rattle sound. Songbird Vulture - Kill something and they appear flying over the dead animal Wolf
Domesticated Animals (not needed for the achievement) Chicken - MacFarlane's Farm Cow Dog - At least one in every town Donkey - Random mexicans riding donkeys Pig Goat - Mexican towns Horse - Domesticated

Too add to other solutions;
I have just unlocked this and in 'Stats: Misc' my total "Wild animal species killed" is at 26. Some of the other solutions don't list wild horses and it was only by chance I killed one messing around. |

The related article on the Red Dead Wiki tells you all about the animals you need to kill and where to find them: http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Unnatural_Selection
To figure out which animals you have yet to kill, go to the start menu, then Stats, and under Miscellaneous you will find how many of each species you have killed. Those you have not killed yet will not be listed, so compare that list with the list on the wiki article above to find out which animals you have left to find towards your 20 G for Unnatural Selection. |

For anyone having trouble finding snakes, there is one that will always spawn outside the back door of your house in Beecher's Hope. You can hear its rattling sound if you walk around in that area. If you kill it and wander away and then come back, another one will spawn. I confirmed this when skinning 8 snakes for the Hunter outfit (DLC), it definitely works.
I apologize for this not being a complete solution, but I felt that the current solutions have massive amounts of comments and this might be hard for people to find if they need it. This is probably the hardest animal to find so I hope this helps some people. |

Just a little headsup, because I know I had a huge problem finding an eagle in the game and nobody really mentioned it before, I think. There's one during the quest "At Home with Dutch" when you climb up the hill. It'll be sitting at a path you need to walk, so be careful not to shoo it away. |

| Just to back up every person's list as I worked my way through but I got the achievement after taking out my first beaver, but before killing any seagulls so it's possible seagulls don't count for the achievement, or that you only need 26 of the 27 possible animals. |

This achievement's not too hard to do since you can check what you're doing in the stats menu on the pause screen. The maps in-game and the one that comes in the game are very helpful. Your horse will also react differently to smaller animals such as snakes, armadillos, and rabbits so keep your eyes and ears on your horse.
BEWARE of downloading the free dlc that comes with the two outfits and the jackalope because in order for the achievement to unlock you'll have to kill the jackalope too, and it's a pain in the ass finding it since they can spawn just about anywhere at random. |
