The 2020 #Taipei #LanternFestival has snuck in a lot of #cats to usher in the #YearoftheRat, eh? #Taiwan https://t.co/fCImlFmL6p
It's the #YearOfTheRat, so let's celebrate the humble rodent 🐀!
Usually, the term 'rat' applies to the 60 or so species that are found in the genus Rattus. The most well-known of this group are the black (R. rattus) and the brown rat (R. norvegicus).
Happy #ChineseNewYear2020!
To welcome the #YearOfTheRat, from our #RareBooks & Special Collections; 19th c. #Thai #Phrommachat, a manuscript #horoscope manual, feat. #animals from #ChineseZodiac, describing the Rat's qualities, here with its avatar (Deva) & guardian spirit plant.
