100 sats \ 0 replies \ @gmd 7 Apr \ on: The Dire Wolf is Back After 10,000+ Years science
I don't care what happened in Jurassic Park this is really cool...
edit: ahhh i guess Game of Thrones threw me off, they're not as big as I thought:
On average, direwolves stood about 2.5 to 3 feet tall at the shoulder (around 76–91 cm) and measured approximately 5 to 5.5 feet in length (1.5–1.7 meters) from nose to tail base. Their weight is estimated to have ranged between 125 to 175 pounds (57–79 kg), though some larger specimens might have pushed closer to 200 pounds (90 kg). For comparison, a modern gray wolf typically weighs 70–145 pounds (32–66 kg) and is slightly smaller in stature.
