    Okay I haven't seen this but apparently they did a DNA test on the Dire Wolf cub that was found in Siberian permafrost a year or two ago, and it turns out that they weren't as closely related to wolves as we thought.

    A link to the study would be helpful, otherwise you are making a statement without credibility. ;)

    Also there's no need to tag threads you start with your name, it makes you look arrogant.

    Except that study has nothing at all to do with the permafrost wolf cub in Siberia - which wasn't even a Dire Wolf incidentally - and the link you provided makes no such claims, so you did indeed make that up :p

    Sorry, I guess I got different articles I read mixed up. :p There is this video that I also watched. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...=Z-1kZmDcESc&usg=AOvVaw1dOcxqoMwNMRCO9zwKO5mw

    So your opening post says you hadn't seen it and now you say you've watched a video on it... after linking a study that didn't prove your claims... maybe put a little more thought into starting your next thread.

    Yeah, I’m obviously new to this, I’m also young, and considerably stupid.

    Neither the article nor the video you linked mentions the cub or Siberia. According to both sources Dire Wolves were North American only making your opening statement completely null.

    That's fair, but considering you have yet to back up your original statement with anything, including apparent misinformation, it appears more like your original statement was made up.
