Dire wolves, or Canis dirus (fearsome dog), were the largest species of canis to ever exist. They were large wolves that were likely pack hunters during the Pleistocene era in North America.
The trouble with depicting dire wolves in art is that they didn't necessarily look that different from modern wolves. From skeletal remains, we know that they were a bit larger than modern Yukon wolves and had bigger teeth, but otherwise, they appear to have been quite similar. So, in order to make my version of a dire wolf look noticeably different from a regular wolf, I experimented by giving it much longer, shaggy hair. After all, this was a creature of a colder age, perhaps it needed such warmth. Anyhow, there's no scientific evidence for such an appearance, I'm just using a bit of artistic license.
Thanks for looking!

Hello there, I was wondering if it was okay if I use this for a banner on a roleplay site called "Animal Jam Clans Wiki"?
I will give you full credit in your name with a link to your gallery and I will not change the image in any sort of way.
ROLEPLAY SITE: animal-jam-clans-1.wikia.com/w…
If not then I understand!

Hi,
You site has ads, making it a commercial site. You can use my art, but you'd have to get a license: licensing.pixels.com/featured/…

Such a fabulous rendition! No fancy, it may even be accurate. Like the woolly rhinoceros, another inhabitant of the Ice Age.

Thanks, its ridiculous that they're bitching about Summer. Then again, they're always bitching about everything.

They have to complain most of the time so they can keep what they see as righteous anger going. They end up being racist, full of hate, censoring, oppressors. As long as big social media, the traditional television media, and progressives keep them funded and full of information to trigger them it won't end. I think culturally they have to rise above the hate, whenever that happens?
Also, to stay on topic. I have to agree with ares12 that there is too much floof. I think the coat can be thick without the fur sticking out as much. I haven't seen any wolves with coats like that. It does add to the scare factor though.

Yeah, it does make them look quite fluffy. Dire Wolves were basically regular wolves on steroids.

A lone wolf is something most people with Cherokee blood can relate.
