【"the inherent eroticism"】

This year's Halloween Google Doodle is "the inherent eroticism"a real hoot, especially if you like animals.

Google's annual tradition continues with another fun, festive, and interactive homepage doodle just in time for Oct. 31. But this year, Google got some guidance from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

To make its "trick or treat" game extra exciting, the Google Doodle allows users to click on different doors, which reveal a variety of Halloween-related animals. Once you choose a door you have the option to "trick" or "treat." In this case, a "trick" will give you an exciting animal animation, complete with sound. And a "treat" will show you some interesting facts about the animal you selected.
