3. How Big Were Dire Wolves?
Dire wolves were the largest canine predators ever in existence. Unlike the Game of Thrones pony sized wolves, these wolves averaged about the same height and length or a little bigger as some of the biggest wolves in now existence. The Northwestern Wolf and the Yukon Wolf, which stand at more than three feet tall at the shoulder and almost six feet in length, are only slightly smaller than the biggest of the dire wolves. Dire wolves were generally more massive than modern day wolves, on average around 150 lbs.
