Game of Thrones Got It VERY Wrong | Dire Wolves Aren’t Wolves (Ft. Evolution Soup)
8,150One of the most iconic ice age beasts often taken for granted, are the dire wolves. Tens of thousands of bones of these large canines have been recovered from all over North America, from the tar pits of L.A. to the quaternary deposits of Bolivia. They’ve been a part of ice age paleoart since their discovery and have made their way into the realm of fantasy with their appearance in HBO’s game of thrones. A new study, fresh off the digital press, has made a startling discovery in the preserved DNA of these robust carnivores; they’re not wolves at all, but rather an ancient lineage of dogs that first evolved in North America many millions of years before wolves even got here.
