Where to Find all Desert Habitat Animals in Red Dead Online

With so many different things for players to do in Red Dead Online, it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of all the different activities. Players have the option to be a lone ranger tasked with bring criminals to justice, or can even join a group of outlaws that decides to kill and steal as they please. On top of this players can also go hunting or fishing or can even decide to explore all the different areas around them.

With the newest update to the game players can also decide to check out the Naturalist Role in the game. These missions have the player tranquilize and catalog different animals throughout the world. Players will earn cash and XP for turning each animal and completing each collection will gain the player a large amount of both. This guide shows players where to track down each of the Desert Habitat animals.

Red Dead Online: Finding the Desert Habitat Animals
