The dire wolf was a large, heavy wild wolf that lived across ancient America, from North America down to Northern South America.

It thrived in diverse habitats, including grassy pains and mountain valleys. Similar to a stockier gray wolf, this hunter stood on short sturdy legs and had a broad head with powerful jaws built to crush thick bones.

Arnold, the aardwolf skull replica, is into building and painting model cars. His newest car is an Oldsmobile 442. It has black leather interior, a black vinyl top, and a W25 Ram Air Hood. He bought it at Quito Art and Hobby.

Manny, the maned wolf skull replica, is going over to Arnold’s house to help him put it together. He loves the sound of snapping the parts off the plastic frame.

Timber, the gray timber wolf skull replica, has a very steady hand and Arnold asked Timber to paint the 442 pearl white. He did a great job.

Tom, the Tasmanian wolf skull replica, is painting all the chrome parts silver. The car is looking so cool.

Once the car was all painted and assembled, Arnold took them out onto Saratoga Avenue and put the pedal to the metal. They reached the top speed of 115 mph. It was so fun.
