What were the characteristics of the dire wolf?

The dire wolf was a relative of the modern-day wolf. It was distinct from other wolves by being even more specialized for eating meat. It was also stronger, capable of dealing with the larger mammals that lived at the same time as the dire wolf. It lived in packs and would prey on anything the group could overpower. This animal is believed to have gone extinct about 10,000 years ago.
