Cosmic Safari

I've been taking on missions from the space stations to help pass the time. I got one to take a picture of a land-dwelling creature. Should be easy enough, I thought. One of the things I love about No Man's Sky is that I can play it in front of my kids. They love looking at the creatures, but most of the critters scurry and run away when we get too close, so we've learned to flip over to photo mode and pan the camera around so that we can get a good look.

But despite taking a lot of different pics of land-dwelling creatures, I couldn't get the mission to say it was completed. After a little bit of Reddit-ing, I learned that instead of holding Share to take the screenshot, you need to tap it, and then select Save Screenshot to get the game to recognize that you have taken the picture.

Anyway, here are the pics from our cosmic safari that we took this afternoon:

Yeah, those are actually animals, on a anomalous planet
