One Red Dead Redemption 2 player has shared a helpful map of the different wildlife interactions that players can encounter online, providing a useful aid to other fans who wish to see the game's in-depth animal encounters for themselves. The map encompasses all of Red Dead Redemption 2's open world and features over twenty different unique events between various animals that players can witness and enjoy. The wildlife within Rockstar's latest Red Dead Redemption title is an impressive system that helps the open world Western feel much more alive than its 2010 predecessor.
The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is massive, with players exploring various regions throughout the game's lengthy runtime, such as the New Austin region. During their journey, players may witness interesting events involving the different wildlife featured within the Western game, such as bears eating fish or eagles catching snakes. The different events help add even more character to the detailed world of Red Dead Redemption 2 and add another reason for players to explore the map beyond the areas featured within its story. One player shared a helpful map on Reddit, identifying 24 different wildlife interactions and marking their potential locations on a map of Red Dead Redemption 2's open world.
Reddit user northenscript shared the map online and noted in their post that they believe there are more interactions that have yet to be found. Among the most notable wildlife encounters on the list are an alligator killing a boar and a cougar hunting a deer. The list entries are marked on the in-game map, with most of the encounters being located in the West Elizabeth and Ambarino regions of Red Dead Redemption 2's map.
Other fans of the Western game shared interactions that aren't included in the list in the post's comment section. One fan notes that "two wolves were playing up near Lake Isabella, I was grabbing the Arabian, watched them for a few minutes before they noticed me." Another fan shared yet another unmarked encounter, stating that they "saw a panther going after & scrapping with a black bear yesterday." While the map isn't entirely complete, it's clear that the legendary animals within Red Dead Redemption 2 aren't the only notable wildlife encounters.
Red Dead Redemption 2 has an impressive open world that feels genuinely alive in some aspects. Red Dead Redemption 2 is full of interesting NPCs and wildlife that help keep players coming back. While not every possible encounter has been charted yet, it's clear that there's plenty for fans of Rockstar's latest open-world game to enjoy.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
