they're kind of symbolic. the Chinese word 鼠 refers to both rats and mice, 羊 to both goats and sheep. they definitely understand these are different animals, but there is no consistency in how they're represented. In the north, it's usually depicted as a sheep, and in the south it's usually a goat.
Similarly, the South East Asia, the Ox is a water buffalo.
In Malaysia, the Rabbit is a mousedeer, and they call the Dragon the "Large Snake" and the snake "Second snake"
"We've had first snake, yes"
