These Prehistoric Wolves hunted in Wolf packs of 3 to as many as 20 individuals, and were both hunters and scavengers. More than 3600 individuals have been excavated from the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California. It was the most common carnivorous found there. The legs of this "Big bad" wolf were significantly shorter than a Gray Wolf and the teeth were more massive. They may have been used to crush bones. The “Type Specimen” (a fossil jawbone) of Canis dirus was discovered in 1854, by Francis A. Linck, near Evansville, Indiana. Canis dirus is a extinct mammal that is well represented in Florida’s Fossil Record. Size: 1.38" L x 1.07" W x .43" Thickness
