Some interesting new research concerning the existence of Dire Wolves. As one of the authors of the study puts it :
"Dire wolves are sometimes portrayed as mythical creatures - giant wolves prowling bleak frozen landscapes - but reality turns out to be even more interesting.” Well I think that all of us here, with a fascination for history, can cheer at the truth of that last statement!
The iconic, prehistoric dire wolf, which prowled through Los Angeles and elsewhere in the Americas over 11 millennia ago, was a distinct species from the slightly smaller gray wolf, an international team of scientists reports in the journal Nature.
