Grey wolves and dire wolves share a common ancestry as both belong to the Canidae family, making them part of the broader group of canids. They exhibit similar social structures, living and hunting in packs, which aids in their survival and hunting efficiency. Both species also have adaptations for hunting large prey, although the dire wolf was larger and more robust than the modern grey wolf. Additionally, both have played significant roles in ecosystems as apex predators, influencing prey populations and maintaining ecological balance.
