What you need to know

  • Google today added a slew of new animals to its AR stable this morning.
  • These include the giraffe, milk cow, zebra, and more.
  • Google earlier added ancient and mythical animals, including Unicorns and Dinosaurs.

As you've probably noticed, Google had enhanced its search experience when looking up animals to include 3D models of a selection of creatures. You could either view them in the browser or search app, or project them into your living space to see them full size if you had a compatible phone.

The company frequently updates its collection with new animals, and now includes 50 more animals and breeds. Google announced the change today, highlighting a few new animals including the giraffe, cat, zebra, milk cow, pig, and the chow chow dog breed.
