Description
Looking for more ambiance within your zoo? Then this Zoo and Wild Animals addon is for you! With plans to add various small creatures to the game, all with their own custom models, textures, animations, sounds, and more!
Latest version (1.16.5-1.0.2-TropEx3) requires ZAWA: Evolved 1.0.2-BeefBeta-TropicalExpedition3 for Minecraft 1.16.5!
(I sometimes forget to update this when a new version is released, so if the latest Lil Critters version doesn't match the above, ALWAYS assume you need the latest ZAWA.)

The Tree Squirrels pictured above are the first official critter to be added, they are fully coded with animations and sounds as well. Check them out!
