When people think of wolves, one species usually comes to mind: the gray wolf. The gray wolf is the largest wolf and the basis of legends. According to National Geographic, the breed was almost hunted to extinction in the lower 48 states of the United States. Even now, few exist outside Alaska.
The dire wolf averaged about 1.5 m (4.9 ft) in length and weighed between 50 and 79 kg (110 and 174 lb), which made it the largest species in the genus Canis. Limb elements are rarely found outside the La Brea Tar Pits, which makes it hard to compare the size of average individuals between populations.nlike the gray wolf, which is of Eurasian origin, the dire wolf evolved on the North American continent, along with the coyote. The dire wolf co-existed with the gray wolf in North America for about 100,000 years.
