Riddle

There is a traditional riddle that goes,
"What is black and white and read all over?"
The answer, of course, is a newspaper.
When I was younger, in our neighborhood
we made up many variations on this answer.
All of them involved black and white animals,
covered with blood. Examples include bloody
dalmatians, skunks, zebras, snow leopards, etc.
