What does Sonorama add?

THIS MOD IS NO LONGER BEING WORKED ON
Welcome to Sonorama. A 1.16.5 mod that 70+ adds animals from Aridoamerica (specifically Sonoran, Mojave & Chihuahuan Deserts) to Minecraft! Animals and plants do spawn in survival but the mod is not entirely survival friendly and was made more for creative builders.
Plants and some mobs are now cross compadible with biomes from Natural Decor Mod!
