The Basics

You will be introduced to your camera at the beginning of the game. After photographing your first few species you will unlock the Zoom function for your camera, making it easier to photograph in the future. Some species are tough to find or photograph as they are quick in movement or like to hide very well. Some species are also missable, as their location might be unavailable after you progress in the game, make sure to check every location before moving on.

Here is a visual list of all species you need to photograph.

Trivia

The cow
This is the complete list of all the species living on Hillys, however there technically is more, which is the Cow (regular cow, not cow sapiens) inside the Nutripils Factory. You will only find its corpse and photographing it does not count towards the list of animals living on Hillys. This might be due to a bug or Ubisoft simply forgot to add this cow to the list - or this was the very last cow on Hillys and they are now extinct.

Teratosaurus Imperator
Remains of one of these monsters can be found and photographed in a cave next to Black Isle, and counts as completing the entry for purposes of the Science Center side-quest. Since the boss versions are completely destroyed when they are defeated, the skeleton is included as a way to get a photograph.

The space whale
The Megaptera Anaerobia is a whale living in outer space between Hillys and the Moon. It is first encountered surrounded by ice, which Jade must destroy piece by piece in order to break the specimen free and be able photograph it. This can be done with either the regular laser or the neutralizing cannon of the hovercraft.

Wait, pig humanoids literally are named """sus""" sapiens?! I thought that was a low-res text error on my screen.
