handlebars template inside template

How can I create a template inside a template in handlebars?
Those are my templates:

<script type="text/x-handlebars-template" id="animal-template">
    <div class="locationSelect">
    {{content}}
    </div>
</script>
<script type="text/x-handlebars-template" id="cat-template">
    <div>
    I am cat
    </div>
</script>
<script type="text/x-handlebars-template" id="dog-template">
    <div>
    I am dog
    </div>
</script>

I want to load the appropriated template at runtime (cat-template or dog-template) inside animal-template. How can I do this?

Partials come in handy when you have a chunk of a Handlebars.js template that you need to use in a few different contexts

<script id="people-template" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
  {{#each people}}
    {{> person}}
  {{/each}}
</script>

<script id="person-partial" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
  <div class="person">
    <h2>{{first_name}} {{last_name}}</h2>
    <div class="phone">{{phone}}</div>
    <div class="email"><a href="mailto:{{email}}">{{email}}</a></div>
    <div class="since">User since {{member_since}}</div>
  </div>
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    var template = Handlebars.compile($("#people-template").html());
    Handlebars.registerPartial("person", $("#person-partial").html());

    template(yourData);
  }
</script>

You can compute templateName's item view property according to the rendered item:

App.AnimalView = Ember.View.extend({
  templateNameBinding: function () {
    var kind = this.get('animal.kind');
    return '%@-template'.fmt(kind);
  }.property('animal.kind')
});

Then in the container template, render the items through their view:

<script type="text/x-handlebars-template" id="animal-template">
  <div class="locationSelect">
  {{#for animal in content}}
    {{view App.AnimalView animalBinding="animal"}}
  {{/for}}
  </div>
</script>
