    Here's a list of all the animals you need. Some of these have challenges associated with it, but not all of them. Note that a bit later in the game you can purchase maps to find the location of all the animals 01 - 20 on the list below in Hope County. The animals in the expeditions are hard to miss.

    For the monstrous animals, I recommend relogging if you can't find them. I had problems to find the monstrous Cougar. After looking for him for 5 minutes I relogged. One minute after I looked around I was hearing a fight with a cougar - went to it and sure enough there he was.

    In general, the monstrous animals get into fights a lot so if you are near his spawn zone and you hear fighting nearby then you got a pretty good chance that you will find highwaymen fighting your prize already.

    Also: Monstrous animals are epic enemies so don't take them on until you have a few epic weapons otherwise it will take a while to take them down.

    Animals in Hope County:
    Animal 01: Deer
    Animal 02: Pronghorn
    Animal 03: Rattlesnake (Hope County - usually near Treasure Hunt locations)
    Animal 04: Wild Dog
    Animal 05: Elk
    Animal 06: Caribou
    Animal 07: Boar
    Animal 08: Wolverine
    Animal 09: Wolf
    Animal 10: Demon Fish
    Animal 11: Bull
    Animal 12: Bison
    Animal 13: Moose
    Animal 14: Black Bear
    Animal 15: Grizzly Bear
    Animal 16: Cougar

    Monstrous Animals
    Animal 17: Monstrous Bison
    Animal 18: Monstrous Boar
    Animal 19: Monstrous Bear
    Animal 20: Monstrous Cougar

    Animals in Expeditions:
    Animal 21: Skunk (Expedition: Alcatraz - in one of the orange cells, have to shoot/punch the lock)
    Animal 22: Hare (Expedition: I. S. S. Crash Site - somewhere in the woods)
    Animal 23: Cattle (Expedition: H. M. S. MacCoubrey - near Lighthouse)
    Animal 24: Crocodile (Selene's Recruitment Mission or Expedition Government Plane Wreck near water)
    Animal 25: Shark (Expedition: H. M. S. MacCoubrey or Alcatraz (in the water - duh!)

    Good luck!

    HolyHalfDeadCattle and Shark are the only skins I got from an Expedition. Thumbs up anyway for where to find Cattle - and if you save those skins for last you can quit the Expedition after the achievement unlocks.

    odiedodieCattle was my last beast (shark second last)

    Weird thing was I used the list to get the cattle in expedition. I’m sure I did get one. But while still at 95% after doing shark and reading the comments I went back to do cattle again and it popped.

    Xrs27Near the lighthouse, I found snakes, goats, sheep, skunks, wolverine, & sharks do by the ship. Not sure why people are saying Cattle, because that would imply Cow, & I definitely didn't see any Cow's! I've killed a big Cow in the main game, I'm hoping that counts...

    METALGAMER8Cattle and shark were the last skins for me. I got them on their respective spots mentioned in the expeditions. My achievement popped as soon as I dove in and got the shark skin. I DID NOT finish the expedition that I got the shark skin on, just to clear that up. I've been at this for two days maybe three. I wrote down the list from the solutions here and crossed them off and also used Power PX's video guide, which was a lot of help. I also caught some fish but I'm not sure if that added to anything. I just love the fishing in this game.

    Rock Is SpongePlaying this on series x atm. Def a bugged achievement. The shark and cattle counted twice on the achievement tracker and it took me like 5 times skinning a hare for it to finally go from 95% to popping the achievement.

    PirS92I spotted cattle in old fang farm location, south east of The Pantry outpost.
    I also spotted bulls into the fields between these two locations.
    Hope this helps.

    masterelliot994For those looking for the Hare, go West of the Chop Shop and South of the Broken Forge. You will find a location called Dick's Hole. Fast Travel here and go 150m North West...
    You should find a number of Hares here.
    To make it easier, make sure to have Timber assigned as he will tag the Hares, making them easier to track if they start running!

    BluePenguin150Pretty sure cows only appear on the second run of H.M.S. MacCourbrey. Got confused as it wasnt unlocking; decided to go again on a harder difficulty and cows were there. :)

    diegojzxFor some reason the shark didn't count when I did it for the first time so if you are stuck in 95% go back to the first mission and do the shark again
