The dire wolf (Aenocyon dirus [10] / iː ˈ n ɒ s aɪ. ɒ n ˈ d aɪ r ə s /) is an extinct canine. The dire wolf lived in the Americas during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene epochs (125,000–9,500 years ago). A putative, controversial fossil was recently reported from northeast China, but other researchers questioned the taxonomic ...

In Russia's far northeastern Yakutia region, local scientists are performing an autopsy on a wolf frozen in permafrost for around 44,000 years, a find they said was the first of its kind. Found by ...
The sequences indicate the dire wolf to be a highly divergent lineage which last shared a most recent common ancestor with the wolf-like canines 5.7 million years ago, with morphological similarity to the grey wolf being a result of convergent evolution. The study's findings are consistent with the previously proposed taxonomic classification ...
