New Body Mass Estimates for Canis dirus, the Extinct Pleistocene Dire Wolf

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Quantitative study of the body mass of Canis dirus. Results indicate a mean body mass comparable to the extant gray wolf, suggesting larger individual animals probably exceed the body mass range of extant gray wolves.
