Class Objective:

According to the Chinese zodiac, 2017 is the year of the rooster. The zodiac is essentially a repeating cycle of 12 years with each year being represented by an animal and its attributes. In order, they are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. We will explore proportions and characteristics associated with theories by an Austrian zoologist, ethologist, and ornithologist, Dr. Konrad Lorenz who linked cuteness to evolutionary biology by proposing the concept of a kind a scheme, the set of traits that we identify as cute and adorable.
