Alba: A Wildlife Adventure contains 62 different animals for you to find around the island, and this guide lists all of them, telling you where and how to find each animal.
In Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, the island where the game is set is thriving with all kinds of animals, and one of your tasks is to find and identify all the animals you come across. Altogether, there are 62 different animals. You’ll mostly find birds, but there are other animals too, including dolphins, cats, chickens, and the legendary Iberian Lynx. A lot of the animals can be found all over the island, but some can only be found in specific places, or you have to play the story to find them.
Near the beginning of the game, you’ll receive the wildlife guide, which includes information about all 62 animals that you can find around the island. As you find and identify animals using the in-game phone’s camera, it’ll be checked off in the guide book, so you can track which animals you’ve already found and which ones you have left to find. The animals in the guide book are divided up by the type of area they can be found in, such as marshland or beach. However, some animals can be found anywhere on the island.
The wildlife guide book will track all the animals you’ve found so far.
With 62 animals to find, this task can seem quite daunting, so this guide will help you track down all the animals that can be found in Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, including any information on how and where they can be found.
Note that this guide may contain spoilers for the game’s story.
