Mystery Animal #2: Punda Milia

I'm alternated syncopated bifurcated vacillated
Band-Aided striated variegated modulated

If you sliced me up, arranged my parts by shade
On one half I'd be dark, as the ace of spades

On one half I'd be light, as the winter snow
Can you catch the wave? By now you should know

I'm alternated syncopated bifurcated vacillated
Band-Aided striated variegated modulated

If you sliced me up, arranged the parts in squares
I'd be like a checkerboard with a tail, a mane and hair

Cause alternating colors are my claim to fame
Just as colors alternating are my fame to claim

I'm alternated syncopated bifurcated vacillated
Band-Aided striated variegated modulated

If you sliced me up, arranged the parts in strips
I'd look just like myself from my nozzle to my hips

Just like a palindrome, the same is left and right
Like looking in a mirror, I'm a duplicating sight

I'm alternated syncopated bifurcated vacillated
Band-Aided striated variegated modulated

Who am I?
