Dire Wolves (Canis Dirus) roamed the Ice Age Americas between 125,000 and 4,000 years ago. Their bones have been found from southern Alberta, Canada all the way south to Bolivia at elevations from sea level up to 7,400 feet. They were enormous carnivores with an estimated average weight of 175 pounds (compared to 88 for gray wolves). A living Dire Wolf would look similar to a gray wolf except for its more massive size and skeletal structure. They also have jaws with a very large first molar shaped to give them a better shearing bite than their relatives. References: Link and other sites.
