Recently, a diverse and international group of researchers explored the DNA and genetics of the Dire Wolf!
Kevin E. Noonan discusses the “lone wolf” and its great size, contributed to its iconic stature in popular culture as diverse as George R.R. Martin and the Grateful Dead, but “mythic” is not too exaggerated a description of this mighty beast in popular culture.
When I awoke, the dire wolf
Six hundred pounds of sin
Was grinning at my window
All I said was, “Come on in”
But don’t murder me, I beg of you
Don’t murder me, please, don’t murder me
– “Dire Wolf,” Grateful Dead, Workingman’s Dead
