The BIG cat who likes getting wet and wild
\nby MICHAEL HANLON<\/p>\n

“Most cats do not like getting wet – as anyone who has tried to bathe a moggie will know.
\nBut as these pictures show, there’s always the exception to the rule. For the cat in question is a large male white Bengal tiger called Odin.”
\n“Six years old, and at the prime of his life, Odin lives at the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Zoo in Vallejo, near San Francisco. He is about 10ft long from nose to tail, and is an excellent swimmer.” Read more and see more photos of Odin (older post from 2007)<\/a> <\/p>\n

“Chinese calendar has been in continuous use for centuries. It predates the International Calendar (based on the Gregorian Calendar) in use at the present, which goes back only some 430 years. Basically, a calendar is a system we use to measures the passage of time, from short durations of minutes and hours, to intervals of time measured in days, months, years and centuries. These are fundamentally based on the astronomical observations of the movement of the Sun, Moon and stars.” <\/p>\n

“Days are measured by the duration of time of one self rotation of the earth. Months are measured by the duration of time of rotation of the moon around the earth. Years are measured by the duration of time it takes for the earth to rotate around the Sun.” read more from ChinaPage.Com<\/strong> \/ print calendars…<\/a>

\n“Chinese New Year or Spring Festival<\/strong> is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the “Lunar New Year” by English speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: \u6b63\u6708; pinyin: zh\u0113ng yu\u00e8) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Year’s Eve is known as ch\u00fa x\u012b. It literally means “Year-pass Eve”.” read more from Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n
