it was my impression that thick white fur was more prevalent in arctic wolves, as it is obviously advantageous in such an environment. dire wolves lived in a temperate, or even rather warm region, so pale fur would certainly not be my first thought when it came to the coat colouration of dire wolves, anyone else find this suspect, especially since colossal evidently worked pretty hard to make them this colour?

my thing on the #colossal #direwolves WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR #PALEOART? obviously until that dire wolf genome is released to the public (something colossal said they would do) and is analyzed by proper scientists, and assuming what they find matches with what colossal has said (which certainly isn't a guarantee) should dire wolves be depicted in a way similar to the colossal specimens- mostly the thick white fur (more on that)

"#Direwolves dominated southern Canada and the United States, according to Julie Meachen, a paleontologist at Des Moines University who worked on the #ancientDNA project. And they outcompeted gray wolves, being 25 percent bigger and possessing massive teeth and jaws. They hunted horses, bison and possibly mammoths. When many of those prey species became extinct — probably in part because of human hunters — the dire wolf may have been doomed, and the gray wolf swept down from northern Canada and Alaska to fill the ecological void."
