An animal riddle is:
 
Q: What is 3/7 chicken, 2/3 cat and 2/4 goat?
A: Chicago.

 
The listener probably expects some sort of animal (or a culinary dish like “turducken”). The city name of “Chicago” is 3/7 “chicken” (“Chic”), 2/3 “cat” (“ca”) and 2/4 “goat” (“go”).
 
The riddle has been cited in print since at least 1921. “What is three-sevenths of a chicken, two-thirds of a cat and one-half of a goat? Ans.—Chicago” was printed in The Gazette and Daily (York, PA) on May 20, 1921.
