The dire wolf is the largest species of the genus Canis known to have existed. Its shape and proportions were similar to those of two modern North American wolves: the Yukon wolf and the Northwestern wolf.
The dire wolf had smaller feet and a larger head when compared with a northern wolf of the same body size. The skull length could reach up to 12 in. or longer, with a broader palate, frontal region, and zygomatic arches.
These dimensions made the skull very massive. Parts of a vertebral column have been assembled, and it was found to be similar to that of the modern wolf, with the same number of vertebrae.
