12 clear, one-word challenges about dire wolves, Ice Age worlds, and how packs survived at the edge of extinction.
Quick Notes on Dire Wolves & Ice Age Worlds
- Direwolves were real Ice Age canids, heavier and more powerfully built than modern gray wolves.
- Many of the best fossils come from the La Brea Tar Pits, where dire wolves were trapped while hunting.
- They hunted in packs, likely targeting large megafauna like ancient bison and young mammoths.
- As big prey disappeared, dire wolves went extinct, while more adaptable canids survived.

“The strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.” —Rudyard Kipling
