Many of the animals the company features in its teaser video on Twitter were found in that teardown back in September. 27 were on that list, so we had more or less than 23 to look out for here.

There are margins of error, sure, as well as a couple of generalities — the “kitten” and “puppy” models to appear as a somewhat generic caricature as to differentiate them from the more specific breeds — but it’s a great time to let the kids get acquainted with these new pals as holiday vacation commences.
You can search for any of these animals and look for the “View in 3D” module, then hop between other related animals in the AR viewfinder.
