Where La Brea tar pits located?
The La Brea Tar Pits (or Rancho La Brea Tar Pits) are a cluster of tar pits around which Hancock Park was formed, in the urban heart of Los Angeles. Asphaltum or tar (brea in Spanish) has seeped up from the ground in this area for tens of thousands of years. The tar is often covered with water. Over many centuries, animals that came to drink the water fell in, sank in the tar, and were preserved as bones. The George C. Page Museum is dedicated to researching the tar pits and displaying specimens from the animals that died there. The La Brea Tar Pits are now a registered National Natural Landmark.

What would a dire wolf do if it got stuck in the tar pits besides die?
No other choice, I'm afraid. Any animal in an intractable situation tends to panic - which in the case of the tar pits, merely hastens it's demise. The museum at the La Brea Tar Pits has virtually hundreds of dire wolf skulls on display retrieved from the pits. If the dire wolf - or almost any other animal - stepped into the pits, that was the end. Countless saber tooth cat remains have also been taken from the pits.
