Google's 3D Animals Feature Basically Lets You Bring the Zoo Into Your Home

Going to the zoo may not be an option right now, but you can still watch wild animals up close thanks to Google's 3D feature. Simply search an animal by name and you'll have the ability to see an augmented-reality version in your own living room. The "View in 3D" feature, which rolled out last year, has recently grown in popularity as people spend more time at home in isolation. Perhaps it's also related to Tiger King mania? I wouldn't be surprised.

Google's fun feature works with a variety of animals, like tigers, pandas, alligators, lions, and more. This seems like a great way to keep kids (or, in my case, my husband) entertained while chilling around the house. Follow the easy steps ahead to see Google's 3D animals yourself.
