Fun fact: Dire wolves were actually not wolves, as a study in 2021 shows this large and very common Pleistocene dog was actually part of its own genus, Aenocyon, not Canis. Some of its modern day relatives are notable for more reddish fur and even within Canis the integument can vary quite a bit. That's why I showed the animal here not as wolf like as it is usually depicted.
