Pig (zodiac)

The Pig (豬) is the twelfth of the Earthly Branches (亥). In the continuous sexagenary cycle, every twelfth year corresponds to Hai, and is commonly called the "Year of the Pig" (豬年). There are five types of Pigs, named after the Chinese elements. In order, they are: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth.
In the Japanese zodiac and the Tibetan zodiac, the Pig is replaced by the boar, which is technically a Pig.[1] In the Dai zodiac, the Pig is replaced by the elephant.[2] In the Gurung zodiac, the Pig is replaced by the deer, which has no close relation.[3]
