DUDLEY Zoo has celebrated Chinese New Year, with the little help from a friendly cornsnake.
In the Chinese zodiac calendar, 2013 is the year of the snake and officially began yesterday (Sunday).
The snake is the sixth symbol in the 12 animal signs of the calendar and is considered to reflect intelligence, refinement and intuitiveness .
