The now extinct Dire Wolf lived a classic nuclear "family" existence with a single mate for life surrounded by offspring from the two. A conscientious beast, male Dire Wolf regarded its young as the most sacred of all life. The male endured extreme elements, tarpits, and the occasional Smilodon cat to provide for the dependents in its care. A prehistoric ancestor of the modern era's Gray Wolf, Dire's sole enemy was neither suburban sprawl nor trophy hunting nor mankind in any form. Rather, the male dog's worse fear was one of emotional despair in the form the female Dire Wolf, the gender occasionally known for breaking the "for-life" bond and slipping away in the darkness of night with her young in tow, lost to lands of the Rancholabrean age, never to be seen by the male again.
