Chinese zodiac animals
The 12 animal forms of the Chinese zodiac.
Chinese astrology classifies people according to 12 signs. (the same as western culture)These signs, however, all take the form of animals. Your animal sign depends upon the year in which you were born.
Legend states that Buddha invited all the animals to a New Year party. Only 12 turned up, so, in thanks, offered them each a year of their own.
