An artist's impression of a dire wolf is seen in an undated handout photo. A team from the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto has used new technology to positively identify a fossil of a dire wolf which was found in Canada.For the first time, a Canadian fossil has been confirmed as coming from the Ice Age predator featured in the TV series “Game of Thrones.
“We could tell pretty clearly right away it was a member of the dog family, about the size of a wolf,” Reynolds said. Although dire wolves tend to be significantly bigger than grey wolves, this individual was within the size range of both species. So the researchers tried something else.
