Google expanded its Street View service with the addition of 360-degree images of animals from zoos around the world.

Google announced Wednesday that its Street View service in Google maps will feature spectacular views from inside the zoos around the world. Animal lovers who wish to visit zoos across the world can now fulfill their desire, thanks to Google's Street View on Google Maps.

After capturing the heights from Eiffel Tower in the City of Lights and Burj-Khalifa in Dubai and  exploring the set of Diagon Alley from Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London, Google has now moved into a new domain, zoos. From lions to pandas, tigers to kangaroos and giraffes to Asian elephants, Google brings 360-degree imagery from different zoos across the world to its Street View service.

The bitterness over private data collection through its Street View is slowly being overtaken by the sweetness of the breathtaking imagery it provides.

"Animal-lovers, rejoice! If you enjoy watching wildlife, but find yourself stuck in the urban jungle, never fear. You can now use Google Maps and Street View to preview the must-see spots at zoos around the world before heading there in person, or take a virtual trip to some of the most famous zoos and animal parks, right from your living room," wrote Deanna Yick, Street View Program Manager in the company's blog.

Views from world's most famous zoos are included in the Street View collection ranging from North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Several U.S. cities that home some of the largest zoos in the world include San Diego, Houston, Atlanta, and Chicago in the United States.

The most fascinating zoos featured on Street View include Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Houston Zoo, Zoo Atlanta, Buin Zoo in Chile, Chapultepec Zoo in Mexico, Jungle Cat World Wildlife Park in Ontario, Canada, Zoologico de Bauru in Brazil, Asahiyama Zoo in Japan and the Zoo Safari Park Stukenbrock and Tierpark Hagenbeck in Germany.

Google has expanded its Street View collection vastly over the last few months. In June, the web giant added 1,000 different locations ranging from sports stadiums and Chilean ski slopes to the canals of Copenhagen to its service.
