The gray wolf ranges over a good part of the world, existing in many subspecies, some which are no larger than the coyote. The typical gray wolf of North America is a large, heavy subspecies, which can weigh to 140 pounds in some cases.

The red wolf rarely exceeds 80 pounds. Red wolves have tawny, reddish, colored flanks and around the muzzle as well. Gray wolves are normally gray and white, but can be black, white, or a mixture of these colors. The red wolf has larger ears in proportion to it's body size too.

The red wolf is a critically endangered species, with the eastern North Carolina swamps of the Alligator River Refuge their only current home in the wild, where some 110 exist in several packs.

What are five ways that dire wolves are different from gray wolves?

Dire wolves were larger and more robust than gray wolves, with an average weight of about 110 pounds compared to gray wolves' typical 70 to 100 pounds. They had a broader skull and stronger jaws, adapted for hunting large prey like megafauna. Unlike gray wolves, which are still extant and social animals, dire wolves lived during the Pleistocene epoch and are now extinct. Additionally, dire wolves had different dental structures, reflecting their specialized diet, which was distinct from that of gray wolves.
