Three animals are named as invasive species in Leonida: cane toads, feral cats and rhesus macaque monkeys. Confirmed None of them has appeared in a screenshot or trailer. Confirmed
Why these three
Leonida is Rockstar's Florida, and all three are real Florida problems. Cane toads are poisonous to pets. Feral cats are common statewide. And Florida does have wild rhesus macaques, descended from animals released decades ago. That background is real-world fact, not something Rockstar has said about the game.
Other invaders in the screenshots
Two animals Rockstar has pictured are also invasive in real Florida, though the game has not labelled them that way: the green Iguanas in the Keys and the lionfish on the reef. Speculation
What is not known
Game Informer reports more than 170 species in tiers, some of them trackable. Reported Where the monkeys live, whether cane toads are dangerous, and whether any of the three can be hunted has not been stated. Unknown The full animal list is on Wildlife.
