Its long bones are 10% larger than those of extant European wolves and 20% longer than those of C. l. lunellensis. [173] The Late Pleistocene Italian wolf was morphometrically close to C. l. maximus.

Epicyon existed for about from the Burdigalian age of the Early Miocene, to the Tortonian of the Late Miocene.
