I concur with the below statements on the incorrect naming of the game. Also, I am quite fond of the first two pictures of the home made boards in the pictures. Does anyone know how they were made? I have a nice board for this game, as well, with some nice pieces. One of my favorite games, hands down.
I wonder why the name of the game in this page is not corrected as stated by many comments. It can be verified. Correct name is Doushouqi. Shou dou qi is incorrect!
Basically, the game I am going to create will be called 'The War of the Animals: The Thousand Battles' and will star (unremarkably) Humans as commanders for Aslan and Sorcerers as commanders for Nemeroth. The game will involve the same physics as Dou Shou Qi and the same graphics (though not the same graphic nature) of Battlefield 2: Special Forces. I am hoping this game will at least garner as much attention as somehting like Rome: Total War or World of Warcraft.
Wish me luck!
The name of the game is Dou Shou Qi and not Shou Dou Qi.
Please get any Chinese-speaking person to look at a box with the title on it to verify this for you.
Many pictures of many different sets are available at the Board Game Geek entry for this game:
hereI hope the error can be corrected. The error here may have contributed to causing the error to be repeated at BGG (and possibily elsewhere), but fortunately that has been rectified. It would be nice if this page also showed the correct name of this game.

There is no such rule, many believed in such a rule, but in the newest version of the rules, this does not exist. However, some earlier versions of the game might have printed with this rule. Dog is ranked higher than wolf, whether that was a mistake, we'll have to stick with it.
There is a very nice freeware-version of the Jungle Game by Peter Donnelly at http://home1.gte.net/res1bup4/index.htm called Animal Game. It has very nice graphics and you can play against a computer opponent which has different skill levels. For Windows.
Viktor is right, twice. The Chinese name of the game is Dou Shou Qi meaning 'Game of fighting animals'. And, true, there is a mistake in the given rules : a trap does not affect at all a friendly piece. It only affects enemy pieces.
Is there a rule for repetitive forward and back play ? What to do if you have a tiger jumping over and back a lake and a lion doing the same thing nearby (going after it) :) 'Go' has a rule against this.
