Life, Sex & Death Among the Dire Wolves

Season 1 Episode 56 | 9m 15s

This is not a Game of Thrones fan fiction episode. Dire wolves were real! And thousands of them died in the same spot in California. Their remains have taught us volumes about how they lived, hunted, died and way more about any animal’s sex life than you’d ever want to know.
