For the time being, zoos and aquariums are closed. Many have virtually opened their doors to let your kids experience virtual field trips. Now, you can bring the animals home with you.
Using your phone, search for any animal on Google. Next to the Wikipedia description, you will see a 3D picture of the animal. You will be given the option to “View in 3D.” Click that and the animal will appear on your screen against a white background. Below the 3D animal you will see a “View in your space” option. Click on that to give Google access to your phone camera. Now, the 3D animal will be inserted in your space.
The list of available animals includes:
- Lion
- Tiger
- Cheetah
- Shark
- Hedgehog
- Duck
- Emperor penguin
- Wolf
- Angler fish
- Goat
- Rottweiler
- Snakes

Happy animal spotting!
