The dire wolf (AenoCyon diir) was a dog that lived during the Pleistocene epoch (26 million to 11,700 years ago). It is probably the most common mammal species in southern California. The dire wolf differed from the modern wolf in several ways: it was larger, had a larger skull, and smaller limbs. This species was widespread and found in Florida, the Vallecippi River Valley, and the Valley of Mexico. The line which included catastrophic wolves and their ancestors came out approximately 5.7 million years ago during the end of Miocene (which lasted from 23 million to about 5.3 million years ago), and evolved independently of the line producing modern wolves and their relatives. The inmate wolf first appeared in America, and there are none who are interviewed with gray wolfs (which is of Euria prior to being distributed in North America).But that might be a distinction without a difference. If it looks like a mammoth and behaves like a mammoth and, if given the opportunity to breed with another engineered elephant with mammoth-mimicking DNA, produces a baby mammoth, it’s hard to say that the species hasn’t been brought back from the dead. “Our mammoths and dire wolves are mammoths and dire wolves by that definition,” says Shapiro. “They have the key traits that make that lineage of organisms distinct."
