Straight to the point. What do you have to do to see 3D animals on Google? Well, the first thing you should do is search for an animal in any of the Google search applications. This

Once you have the search results, you must search and press a button that says View in 3D. If you don't see this button, try putting the word "animal" at the end of your search to be more specific. But, remember that not all animals have these 3D representations.
Now, after clicking on view in 3D you will be redirected to a new screen, where you can see the 3D representation of the animal in two different representation modes. These are:
RA mode
The RA (augmented reality) mode is great for photos like this.
By default, the application will always open in the AR mode the way of augmented reality. As its name indicates, this mode is used to see an animal figure within the space you choose. In other words, you will be able to record any place with your mobile, such as your room, so that Google puts the 3D model of the animal there, as if it were physically in that place.
If you look closely, you'll notice that you can move across the room while the 3D animal remains in the same place. This is a cool function for taking photos like the one above.
When entering this mode, you will be asked to point to a site with the mobile camera. Then, you have to wait a few seconds for the 3D model to load and you will see it represented on that site.

In this mode you can press the round white button at the bottom of the screen to Record How can you see a lion in your living room thanks to the Google search engine and then share this video with family and friends.
object mode
This other mode is used only to view any animal, object or site in 3D on a colored background. That is, the “virtual reality” part is removed. To activate this mode you have to click on the animal and then switch to "Object" in the options at the top.
Within both modes you will have at the bottom of the screen a options carousel with more animals so you can continue to see more 3D models. And if you want more people to know about this Google function, you can click on the share and send the link via WhatsApp, among other social networks.
