The Chinese zodiac consists of 12 different animals, each representing various personalities and characteristics of a person. However, I am sure that people exhibit more than just 12 different personalities. Therefore, today I’m going to choose a new animal for the Chinese zodiac —— a frog!

I would pick the frog as a new animal for the Chinese zodiac because the frog has been known as a symbol of prosperity in ancient Chinese culture. So, people with the frog as their Chinese zodiac animal might be wealthy!

In nature, the color of frog skin is green. This camouflage makes it harder for them to be seen when they are on a green plant. So, people with the frog as their Chinese zodiac animal are clever; they can protect themselves in emergency situations! Also, frogs are known to be good at leaping and swimming, suggesting that you might be an outgoing person! And, since frogs don’t live in groups, they might sometimes feel lonely.

I think that people with the frog as their Chinese zodiac animal would hate snakes since snakes prey on frogs. They would be friends with goats and rabbits because they share similar personalities.

In conclusion, people with the frog as their Chinese zodiac animal might be clever, outgoing, and somewhat lonely. They dislike snakes and are friendly with goats, tigers, and rabbits.
