There is almost an entire wall of dire wolf skulls on display. The reasons this animal went extinct are unconvincing. It was a prolific breeder. Game animals even in post Ice Age southern California were plentiful. Humans were around but in small numbers. Something not yet understood caused the extinction of the mega-fauna.

Their purpose is to constantly mate and birth dogs -- bringing sentient animals into existence -- just to achieve a particular appearance they desire to gawk at? (I'm sure they're completely altruistic and have no intention of eventually selling puppies.) Perhaps if they rescued a shelter dog on death row for every dog they produced I'd feel more generously about this effort.
