National Museum of Anthropology and History - Museo Nacional de Antropología e Historia - Museo de Antropología:

The following photos are representative of several exhibits at the museum. We will discuss those that we can.

Ahuizotl (ah-we-sut'-l), it is half dog and half monkey,with a hand coming out of the end of its tail. The Ahuizotl is greatly feared as an eater of human flesh, and it particularly likes eyes, teeth and nails. Being a water creature, it uses its tail hand to snatch people walking too close to the water's edge, or fishermen. Sometimes it cries and when people come near it to see what is wrong, it grabs them.
