The dire wolf (Canis dirus, fearsome dog) is an extinct carnivorous mammal of the genus Canis, roughly the size of the extant gray wolf, but with a heavier build.It evolved in North America and later moved into South America.imb elements are rarely found outside the La Brea Tar Pits, which makes it hard to compare the size of average individuals between populations.
