snake appears 2 times in the list, but I only translated it once.

according to the Chinese sentence, the second "snake" should be "goat"...

hello, I couldn't say which is the original but so as to fit the chinese sentence better, wouldn't it be better to have it as "The Chinese zodiac consists of twelve animals, including eleven..." ?

actually 组成/組成 doesn't really sound like a come from to me.

Goat is still missing from the list. It should be there after horse.

"... are used as a calendar" or "... are used in* the calendar" ?
I refer to the logic of the sentence rather than to its accuracy as a translation.

@Vortarulo can you please add "sheep" to the list?
