Each Chinese year is named for one of 12 animals. This will be the Year of the Tiger, the 3rd of the 12 animals. According to one legend, the Emperor asked all the animals to a race. Only 12 animals showed up. The tiger finished 3rd (behind the rat and the ox). Click here for more information about the Chinese Zodiac.
