Animals were introduced to Fortnite at the start of Chapter 2 Season 6, finally bringing wildlife to the island.
To benefit from their varied loot and other features – like riding certain animals – you’ll need to travel to specific areas of the map to find locations of wolves, boars, chickens, birds and frogs in Fortnite.
We have detailed all the current animal places below, along with other important wildlife information you should know.

Animals and animal locations in Fortnite explained
Animals and Fauna refer to the five creatures that roam the map intermittently: wolves, boars, chickens, birdsand frogs. Raptors, Loot Sharks, and Klmobos are also occasionally found on the island, and you can visit their pages for more specific information on each creature.
Killing different types of animals in Fortnite will reward you with different loot – mostly meat and berriesbut killing crows and chickens can also reward you with weapons.
Animals can spawn anywhere on the map, but since they have the ability to roam, they may not always be in the same location every match. Depending on the type of animal, they may also prefer certain types of locations over others.
Although not guaranteed, there are specific places worth visiting if you are looking for a certain type of animal.
Here are the favorite pet locations (if any) in Fortnite:
- Boars tend to be found in enclosures around agricultural type areas and near mountains.
- wolves tend to wonder near woods, in the countryside, and are also more likely to enter named locations to hunt players.
- Chickens are more likely to be located on or around agricultural areas and countryside.
- frogs likes to hop near water, like rivers.
If you are going hunting, we recommend that you make sure that the sound effects in the game are set to 100%, because each animal has a specific sound that you will be able to hear when it is nearby, whether you can see it or nope. .
Enabling “Show Sound Effects” in Sound Settings can also help you locate animals in Fortnite by displaying the direction they are facing on your HUD when you are near them.
Fortnite Pet Loot Drops
Each animal you kill in Fortnite will drop different types of loot, which you can use to gain health and shields. Some animals even drop weapons when eliminated.
Here is the loot you can get by killing each type of animal in Fortnite:
Fortnite wolf locations
Wolves usually travel in packs of three or four, but you may encounter a lone wolf while exploring the island. They can usually be found on the outskirts of normal wooded areas or roaming the countryside.
InFortnite Chapter 3 Season 3you are most likely to locate a wolf in the campaign around the Daily Bugle.
When a wolf is nearby, you may hear a number of barks and howls, so be sure to keep an ear out. A wolf symbol will also appear on your HUD if the “Show Sound Effects” option is enabled.
Killing a wolf will drop three pieces of meat as loot, which can be eaten to restore some health. You can also ride wolves as a vehicle now, so killing them might not always be best when you encounter a wolf.
Fortnite boar locations
Boars can usually be found roaming alone around mountains and wooded areas on the Fortnite map.
In Chapter 3 Season 3 you can find boar locations around the Logjam Lotus, Rave Cave and Shifty Shafts landmarks. We recommend looking for a boar in Shifty Shafts, as they spawn in paddocks, meaning they’re less likely to roam the island in a match.
If you’re near a boar, you may hear a snorting noise – walk in the direction of that noise, paying attention when it gets louder, and you’ll eventually find a boar. A boar symbol will also appear on your HUD if the “Show Sound Effects” option is enabled.
Boars are aggressive animals and will charge at you if you come into your line of sight, but they won’t chase you if you decide to escape. Luckily, their large size makes them easy targets, and like wolves, you can ride boars as a vehicle.
Once eliminated, Boars will drop two pieces of Meat and two Mushrooms. Meat can be eaten to restore health and mushrooms can be eaten to gain shields.
fortnite chicken locations
If you’re looking for chickens in Fortnite, it’s a good idea to visit one of the farms, a wooded area, or just wander around the countryside. You can encounter both groups of chickens, usually between two or three, or just one, so it usually shouldn’t be too long before you find one.
However, in the current season of Chapter 3 Season 3, you won’t be able to find any chickens on the island as they were retired at the start of the season.
When a chicken is nearby, you will be able to hear it clucking, so be sure to head towards this sound if you are hunting animals. A chicken symbol will also appear on your HUD if the “Show Sound Effects” option is enabled.
Chickens are not aggressive animals, which means that whatever you do, they will never attack you. Instead, they will run away quickly, so we recommend chasing them as quickly as possible to avoid losing your prey or attracting the attention of another player.
Chickens can also be used to fly around the map in Legend of Zelda style – just make sure to jump from a higher area or you won’t get anywhere.
Once you kill a chicken, it will drop a piece of meat, which can be used as a healing item. If you are lucky to come across a Shiny Purple Chicken, it will also drop an Epic Weapon, and Shiny Orange Chickens will drop a Legendary Weapon.
Fortnite Bird Locations
Birds, also known as crows, are passive animals that fly around the skies of the Fortnite map, but can be difficult to find as they don’t have a particular spawning location. To help locate birds, make sure “Show sound effects” is turned on to see a bird symbol appear on your HUD when nearby.
If you spot a bird, it’s easier to eliminate it once it’s landed or perched on a structure, as it’s easier to aim when the crow is stationary. While you don’t want the crow to escape, it doesn’t have much health, so if you have a weapon you’re comfortable with, it’s best to shoot the bird immediately for loot .
Killing a bird will drop two pieces of meat as loot, which can be used as a health item. If you encounter a glowing purple bird, it will also drop an epic weapon, and glowing orange birds will drop a legendary weapon.
Chapter 3 Season 3 has arrived – bringing with it a new Battle Pass, Character Collection, Map Slots, and Victory Umbrella! You can now ride Animals, find Reality Seeds, and use the new Grapple Glove, and Victory Crowns are back. If you’re looking for a specific Battle Pass skin, it’s a good idea to know how to get XP fast.
Fortnite frog locations
Due to their small size, frogs are one of the hardest pets to find in Fortnite. Your best bet is to head to an area near water, like riverbeds, and listen for the sound of their croaking. A frog symbol will also appear on your HUD if the “Show Sound Effects” option is enabled.
There are no frogs available to hunt during Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3.
Although frogs never attack you and can be killed with a single bullet, they can jump quite quickly. For this reason, it’s a good idea to follow a frog from a distance until it stops moving, giving you the opportunity to shoot it quickly.
Then the frog will drop a piece of meat, which can be used as a healing item.
