Description
Okay, the New Year is approaching, no matter what, and it will be the year of the Hare (=Rabbit) and Water.
An explanation is required here. The bearded seal is called "Sea Hare" in Russian (maybe in some other languages, I don't know), that's why it is a symbol of the coming year. Well, again, long-eared bats (which were already 12 years ago). In Japanese, they are called "usagikoumori", which means "hare- bat". So let's assume that these are Japanese long-eared bats.
Some people think that the year of the Hare should actually be the year of the Cat, which is why there is a headband with cat ears (as an alternative).

Needless to say, what exactly the Tiger brought in his year. Let's hope that the Hare is a more peaceful creature. Therefore, I wish everyone peace (as soon as possible), as well as health and success.

Featured animal of the year: bearded seal a.k.a. "sea hare", Erignathus barbatus.
Featured bat: usagikoumori, Plecotus sacrimontis.
