Most of weapons and health upgrades require ingredients that can be acquired only from animals. After killing an animal, you’ll receive a bone and the main ingredient like skin, hide or pelt. In the list below you can find best animal hunting locations, along with detailed information about ingredients obtainable from animals, selling prices and crafting recipes.
You can reset animal’s spawn location by simple using nearby fast travel
Animals tend to respawn faster when nearby animals are defeated
Farming white jaguar pelt (600R) is possible when using fast travel. The animal respawns every time you use nearby fast travel, and you can quickly walk back to spawn location.
Lurking animals from bushes and whistling will make them come closer, then you can use surprise attack tactic
Animals like jaguars, white jaguars, crocodiles will attack you
Probably the best way to kill an animal is from the distance with silent sleep darts. You can craft darts easily with one animal’s bone

the white whale has 9 diffrent spots that is you sail over it automatically appears and from my count id say you guys missed more fish then just the white whale lol.

2 Black Jaguars spant at Isla Providencia just below the Sync Point. You teleport up, drop down int the water, swim 5 meters, climb the pillar directly from water (middle pillar) and shoot 2 jaguars with pistols. Do not reload, jump down, skin, open map and repeat. Upon teleport your guns will be reloaded and you spend no ammo. 20k in less than 30 minutes.
Great White Sharks can be found near (419,277) and (379,88) and I say “near” because harpooning sites are not completely static. After successfully killing a shark or whale the next time they spawn may be a few degrees off from the original. Also you will want to have your Jackdaws armor and artillery upgraded a bit before hunting Great Whites as they only spawn in the southern waters and enemy ships are much more powerful (***,500) latitude. Upgrades lead to my next piece of advice, if you upgrade your ship and are able to capture forts it will reveal all harpoon locations (chests, royal convoys & animus fragments too) in that section of the map.

You forgot about the humpback whales. still, easily found like the rest by looking at your map.
Also, thanks for the info.
Just to clarify, a killer whale is not a shark, you should change the name in this guide, and maybe learn some basic biology while you’re at it.
IT was a honest mistake. We fixed it. Thank you for pointing it out…
you did not fix it. Humpback is still not there.
shut up they r giving us info on how to get stuff in ac4 so they title it under shark who gives a crap
well I fell like you missed 3 things humpback whale and 2 locations for rabbits

What are the grid cordinates for the white whale
Your page helped us find what we were looking for. Just wanted to send appreciation for your work! Thanks!
You are welcome. We are glad you find it useful.
they cant be pin pointed they can be anywhere in the ocean and only appear during community events
This helps out a lot as I sold rare animal skins and forgot where I killed them
Better to buy white whale skin than to harpoon it lol
Takes 6 naval ships to board for the damn whaler outfit
Google picked this as top result, took me straight here and this is what I needed. Thanks!
You forgot the HUMPBACK WHALE, you can find him at the SOUTH of KINGSTON, very easy to find.
