According to Chinese tradition, the Tiger occupies third place in the sequence of the 12 animals that climbed Buddha’s palace in response to the call of God. I

n order of arrival, they are the Mouse, the Buffalo, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Goat, the Monkey, the Rooster, the Dog, and lastly, the Pig.

That explains the formation of the Chinese zodiac and the features of each of the 12 animals. The Tiger apologized to the Jade Emperor, blaming the strong river currents that did not allow him to get ahead of the Buffalo and Mouse.
