Chinese Zodiac Tiger


A legend says that the Jade Emperor held a competition and said the order of the 12-cycle animal signs would be decided by the order in which the zodiac animals arrived at his palace. Ox came first but Rat climbed up its head and landed ahead of Ox, Tiger and Rabbit following. So the top 4 became Rat, Ox, Tiger, and Rabbit.

Personality

Tigers love to be challenged and will accept any challenge if it means protecting a loved one or protecting their honor. They don’t worry about the outcome because they know they’ll always land on their feet. Don’t let their calm appearance fool you though; Tigers will pounce when they feel it’s necessary.
