Welcome to the year of the snake | Ep31
Description
Antarctica is the only continent without snakes? This lunar new year's zodiac animal is the snake. Explore snakes as we welcome in the new year in Taiwan.
If you were born in 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, or 2013, you may have been born in the year of the snake. Just remember to search your birthday with the month and date as well, as zodiac animals are based on the lunar calendar.
