The megafaunal wolf was a Late Pleistocene – early Holocene hypercarnivore similar in size to a large extant gray wolf (Canis lupus). It had a shorter, broader palate with large carnassial teeth relative to its overall skull size. This adaptation allowed it to predate and scavenge on Pleistocene megafauna. They are now extinct.
