If you can’t go to Australia to pet the koalas, the koalas will now come to you — sort of.
Google has added eight Australian animals to its collection of mobile AR creatures, allowing users to size up animated 3D renditions of the country’s native fauna. It’s an entertaining little update, and a good tool to help you determine which ones you could take in a fight.

To see the life-sized animals, simply use either your Android or iOS mobile browser or Google App to search for koala, kangaroo, quokka, wombat, platypus, emu, kookaburra, or echidna. Select “View in 3D”, and Google will display your chosen animal overlaid on your camera’s view, like a more educational Pokémon Go. Read more…
