Warning! A pack of seven playful and wild baby mobs has invaded the snapshot! These adorable little foxes, polar bears, bees, llamas, armadillos, and goats may appear endearing with their new designs, but not all of them are friendly (or trainable!). From the chilly tundras to the warm deserts, only a few biomes are safe from their charm!
