Canis dirus, also known as the dire wolf, is an extinct species of canid. This large canid was ~25% larger than a modern-day wolf with a wider and taller skull, a greater sagittal crest along the back of the skull, and a thicker mandible, enabling it to have a stronger bite force. Canis dirus also had a larger body but shorter limbs making it stockier than modern wolves. Skeletal material has been found all across North and South America from Pleistocene to Early Holocene age deposits (125,000-9,000 years before present). This particular skull comes from a massive collection of Canis dirus material collected from the Rancho La Brea tar pits. The tar pits have produced material from over 4,000 Canis dirus individuals.
This is a museum quality cast replica made with a durable polyurethane resin. It was molded directly from the original restored skull, not a 3D printed skull or a sculpture.
