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.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
