In its announcement telecasting , Google did n’t let in an all-inclusive tilt of the raw animals , although it did give away a few new ones , such as the giraffe , Milk River cow , cat , zebra , squealer , and Chou Chou dynasty . The folk over at9to5Googlehave create an extensive list of their find , and have so far discovered 25 of the animals !

It also rent you show off your new friends by crack picture or puddle videos of them on your phone . Finding the animate being is “ relatively ” childlike ( I apparently have horrible luck ) . All you need to do is search for the animal in Google and then scroll down the page until you see a block with the pick to “ View in 3D. ” This will turn your telephone set in an AR “ projector , ” so to speak , and give you a dead on target model of the animal along with effectual upshot .
