We think this tiger is so cute!

You can
find out your animal sign - and your zodiac personality with a great interactive from Bath's Museum of East Asian Art.

The Chinese Zodiac is a 12 year cycle. Each year is named after one of 12 animals and each animal has a different personality. You are supposed to take after your animal.

If you were born in the Year of the Tiger, you are a brave person...grrr!
