Animals of the Chinese Zodiac

Today I made all the animals of the Chinese Zodiac! Here is a picture of all the animals of the Chinese Zodiac:

The twelve animals are dog, rat, pig, ox, rooster, snake, tiger, dragon, sheep, horse, rabbit, and monkey.

Now if you have seen the show Jackie Chan Adventures before, these animals are familiar, of course. That is because there are twelve talismans (these animals) that give the person holding them special powers.
