12 Animals of the Chinese Zodiac 
The Chinese zodiac is a mathematical cycle of 12 animals. Each animal represents one year. People are associated with the animal for the year they are born. The 12 animals are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Although it is called the Chinese zodiac, this system is also used in several other countries in Asia such as Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.
