Chinese New Year Coloring Zodiac Animals

 The Chinese calendar goes in 12 year cycles that are named after animals in the Chinese Zodiac. The story is Lord Budha summoned all the animals, and only 12 came.  In honor, he named the years after him.  The order is based on when they came to him.  Rat came first by hopping on the back of the Ox who carried him across the river, and then jumping off ahead of him.
