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.
