Wolf (Canis lupus)

[AndresVida]

I wonder if anyone has mentioned the Kenai Peninsula Wolf here?

I find this subspecies of wolves extremely interesting, sadly it is extinct due to humans.

This might have been the largest subspecies of Canis lupus to ever exist truly.
Compare its skull to a general grey wolf skull

This site describes it as a very large carnivore who had an alleged shoulder height of 90–115 cm (seems exaggerated, a wolf as tall as a tiger?) and a weight between 67–90 kg.

This would make the wolf was big as cougars and leopards on average/max weight
