Hey everyone! It's your fellow stylist and explorer here, ready to dive into one of the most chill yet tricky random quests in Infinity Nikki—the Animal Trail Photo Investigation. I remember first stumbling upon this quest in Florawish after Momo finally got his paws on that camera from Bebe. Let me tell you, it's a total vibe! No fancy outfits required here, just you, your bestie Momo, and a pair of eyes sharp enough to spot some seriously sneaky critters. It's like a Where's Waldo? but with way cuter animals and in the magical world of Miraland. So, let's break it down and get you those rewards, fam!

First things first, to even start this quest, you gotta head over to Bibicoon's Chuckle Club between 5 AM and 9 PM (in-game time, of course). That's when you'll find Avaro hanging out, ready to hand you three separate photographs. Your mission? Find all the hidden Shirtcats and Ambirds in each pic. It sounds simple, but some of these little guys are masters of camouflage, I swear! The reward for your detective work is totally worth it though: 10 Diamonds and 3 Upgrade Kits. Not too shabby for a day's work, right?

Alright, let's get into the nitty-gritty. I've gone through these photos more times than I can count, so I'm gonna walk you through each one step-by-step. Trust me, this guide will save you so much time and frustration. Let's go!

Photograph One: The Glass Building Scene

This is your first challenge. In this photo, you need to find:

• 2 Shirtcats 🐱

• 1 Ambird 🐦

Here's exactly where they're hiding:

1. First Shirtcat: Look up! This cheeky fellow is chillin' on the right side of the roof of the glass building. He's just lounging up there, enjoying the view.

2. Second Shirtcat: This one's a bit more grounded. He's hiding in the bushes near the plantpot in front of the glass building. You really gotta zoom in on those greens!

3. The Ambird: This birdie is blending in perfectly. It's sitting among the purple flowers on the bush in front of the same building. A splash of color in a sea of green!

Pro Tip: Start from the top of the image and work your way down. The roof cat is the easiest to miss if you're only scanning the foreground.

Photograph Two: The Park Statue Vibe

Okay, this one amps up the difficulty! For the second photo, you're searching for:

• 2 Shirtcats 🐱

• 3 Ambirds 🐦🐦🐦

Check out the marked image below for the full scoop:

Shirtcat Locations:

• Cat #1: This one's kinda obvious but easy to overlook because it's so... there. It's just standing in the foreground of the photograph. Sometimes the most direct place is the last place you look, lol.

• Cat #2: This sneaky kitty is using a person for cover! Look behind the legs of the person with their back to you. It's just peeking out!

Ambird Locations:

• Bird #1: Up high on the top of the statue to the right of the big tree. It's like a tiny king of the castle.

• Bird #2: On a large branch on the left side of the same tree. It's nestled in there pretty good.

• Bird #3: This is the trickiest one! It's perched right in the middle of the tree where the branches start to split off. You really have to focus on the tree's center mass.

My Strategy: I always hunt for the Ambirds first in this one because they're smaller and blend with the stone and leaves. The Shirtcats are larger and pop once you know the general areas.

Photograph Three: Chuckle Club Front & Center

The final stretch! This photo features:

• 3 Shirtcats 🐱🐱🐱

• 2 Ambirds 🐦🐦

Here is your ultimate cheat sheet:

Shirtcat Squad:

1. The Door Guardian: The first cat is sitting right in front of the main doors. Couldn't be more central!

2. The People-Pleaser: The second is sitting by the legs of the people to the right of the doors. It's just hanging out with the crowd.

3. The Balcony Boss: Look up and to the left! The third cat is on the balcony to the left of the Chuckle Club's sign. A prime viewing spot.

Ambird Duo:

1. Sign Adjacent: The first bird is to the left of the Chuckle Club's sign, kind of floating near the architecture.

2. The Low Flier: The second is just below the first one, hovering by a person to the left of the doors. It's at about head height of the NPC.

And that's it! Once you've tagged all these adorable fugitives, head back to Avaro to claim your well-earned 10 Diamonds and 3 Upgrade Kits. It's a super satisfying quest to complete, and it really trains your observation skills for other Photo Investigations in the game.

Final Thoughts & 2026 Meta

As of 2026, this quest remains a classic. It's a perfect example of the cozy, exploratory side of Infinity Nikki that I absolutely adore. It's not about combat or complex puzzles; it's about slowing down, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Miraland, and helping out its citizens (and animals!).

If you enjoyed this kind of investigation gameplay, you should totally check out other Photo Investigations like the Family Search one. They all follow a similar chill logic but with different themes. It's a great way to earn extra resources while immersing yourself in the world.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab that camera, team up with Momo, and go find those Shirtcats and Ambirds! Happy hunting, and may your fashion sense be as sharp as your eyesight! ✨👗🔍
