neonvincentSaw this video pop up on my feed last week and thought, "Hey, I used to work here!"
This is not a Game of Thrones fan fiction episode. Dire wolves were real! And thousands of them died in the same spot in California. Their remains have taught us volumes about how they lived, hunted, died and way more about any animal’s sex life than you’d ever want to know.
I think I heard about the specimen at the center of this story more than 30 years ago. I recall it being an amusing mention in passing.
