The Tiger is the third of the twelve signs in the Chinese Zodiac. According to legend, the Jade Emperor announced a Great Race to establish the order of the twelve signs of the Zodiac. At the end of the race the animals had to cross a fast-flowing river to take their place in the Zodiac. The confident Tiger was a likely contender to win, but kept getting swept downstream by the strong currents. Showing the determination and strength synonymous with those born under the sign, the Tiger finally made it ashore after the Rat and the Ox.

People born in the Year of the Tiger are said to be brave, charming and well-liked. Famous Tigers include Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, actors Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio, performer Lady Gaga and Australia’s ‘Crocodile Hunter’ Steve Irwin.
