The Siberian Wolf's Head. - BIAD - 06-08-2019 In a couple of my fictional yarns, I wrote of a huge ferocious wolf called Accam Dey that was eventually hunted down and its decapitated head kept in a glass case. It looks like I was just ahead of the curve!

It's difficult to get Boy In A Dress to tell anything of his past, but I'm sure if I asked if he had any information about this large prehistoric wolf, he'd say it either ate his homework or his underwear!! RE: The Siberian Wolf's Head. - Mystic Wanderer - 06-08-2019 I wouldn't put it past the scientists to take DNA and try to create this creature again. Be on the lookout!!! The past life memory Ms. G. mentioned is a good one, I think that's possible. I bet you were surprised when you found this article.

Be on the lookout!!! Two surprises. One, I was when I found the article. Two. I wouldn't be surprised if scientists do try to resurrect this thing!

If one of them things ever returns and gets out, then the same scientists will get letters! RE: The Siberian Wolf's Head. - Ninurta - 06-28-2019 My my! That WAS a big-'un! 40 cm is about 16 inches long. An adult Dire Wolf had a skull about 11 or 11 1/2 inches long, making this beast about 140% larger than a Dire Wolf, if all of the other bodily proportions are the same. Dire Wolves were about the size of a large American Gray wolf, just built heavier so they could take more punishment from pleistocene megafauna when they were on the hunt. This beast is, well, a BEAST! I'd love to see the results of the research they do, such as a DNA profile, determination of what species it was, and of course the reconstruction they have promised. RE: The Siberian Wolf's Head. - Ninurta - 07-11-2019 I will also note here that I've read the diary of Osborne Russell, who was a trapper in the old west, circa 1820s in the Rocky Mountains, and that in that diary he specifies that he encountered 3 species of "wolf". One of them answers to a small species of "Medicine wolf", which we call today a "coyote". The second fits the description of what we would call now a "gray wolf" in the US... but the third, ah, the third, is a larger wolf than we see today, which Russell describes as "5 foot long from the tip of his nose to the root of his tail". That sounds to me like the description of an American Dire Wolf, but the are seen no more - or at least only rarely. We have here, where I live, an infestation of coyotes. One took up with my brother in law's dog, and would come to the house to eat with his dog. Puppies were born of that union, which are to this day feral. It has also been claimed that ALL of the coyotes east of the Mississippi River in the US are mixed with wolves, and that the mixture occurred in Minnesota where they crossed the Mississippi. I saw, in the fall of 2015 on my way to work, a "coyote": standing in a field that looked more wolf-like that the average coyote, It had a heavier muzzle, and shorter ears, than a normal coyote, and looked a lot more wolf-like than coyote like.. and it was huge. it was, at least, "5 feet long from the tip of it's nose to the root of it's tail"... ... and I wonder. . |
