Information about the Dire Wolf:

The Dire Wolf is an extinct carnivore that roamed North and South America. At one point it was the most common predator in it’s range. It went extinct about 10,000 years ago, having existed on the planet for some 1.7 million years. They were larger than today’s Gray Wolf, having a length of roughly five feet (1.5 meters) weighing 110-175 pounds (50 -79 kg) which is roughly 25 percent larger than a Gray Wolf and the power of their jaws was thought to be about 130% stronger. The first specimen of a Dire Wolf was discovered in Evansville, Indiana in 1854. The Ohio river was low and a jawbone was found on the banks. There are many theories why the Dire Wolf went extinct while the Gray Wolf survived. Perhaps a series of environmental pressures such as a decline in prey, human predation and hunting and climate change forced the larger and less adaptable Dire Wolf into extinction.

The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil
• Paper weight: 5.6 oz/y² (192 g/m²)
• Opacity: 94%

Description

Fine art illustration of a Dire Wolf (Aenocyon dirus.) The illustration is available in black and white or color for immediate download.

Artist’s notes:

The Dire Wolf was completed on 1.21.2013. Well. Sometime the extinct mammals turn out to be some of my best drawings. Sometimes not. I wrestled with this animal for several hours, sailing dangerously into an “overworked” look. Alas, I’m a little disappointed in how it looks more cartoonish than realistic. Looking at the drawing now, I realize it has something to do with the face, and my decision to have much of the lower half remain white. I may rework this image at some point to try and diminish this fault. Or perhaps attempt the entire image again. The drawing is based upon a sketch by Carl Buell.
