Wolves and dogs have always been some of my favorite animals. So many fossils of prehistory's biggest and baddest carnivorous animals have been found all over and they have revealed in sites into the history of life. Lets always celebrate life. It seems dire wolves may not really be wolves at all, but a type of dog long since past. The two are very similar, but may not be genetically connected apparently according to a new study published in the journal 'Nature.' You wouldn't have wanted to encounter one of these beasts.
