The Year of the Snake, which is Heaven for a great many Westerners in this
world, quite rapidly makes way for the Year of the Dragon. The Dragon is
a creature consisting of the features of many animals. It generally has the
head of a reptile (snake, lizard, crocodile), the body of a mammal (possibly
with parts of different mammals, such as from a lion, panther, goat, dog,
wolf and/or others). The Dragon is brainier compared to the snake and more
treacherous exhales fire.
