Specialists studied the canidae skeletons found in burials at the Moon Pyramid and the Quetzalcoatl Temple and revealed that they practised hybridization between dogs and wolves. Canidae is a cosmopolitan family of carnivorous mammals that includes the wolves, jackals, foxes, coyote, and the domestic dog. This research reveals that this culture had a deep knowledge of animal biology as they found uses for over 120 animal species each used for a different purpose. The recent studies also reveal that they bred Pumas in captivity for the purpose of ritual sacrifice.
