The following seems to work for me:

\documentstyle{report}

\begin{document}

Three animals you should know about are:
\begin{itemize}

        \item gnat\\
            A small animal, found in the North Woods,
            that causes no end of trouble.

        \item gnu\\
            A large animal, found in crossword puzzles,
            that causes no end of trouble.

        \item armadillo\\
            A medium-sized animal, named after a
            medium-sized Texas city.
\end{itemize}


\end{document}


Hope this helps.
