When you hear the words dire wolf, your mind might jump to Game of Thrones or Dungeons and Dragons, but dire wolves are not just in the realm of fantasy and fiction. They were real animals that lived during the last Ice Age, and we're still learning a lot about them, like the fact that they aren't wolves! Hosted by: Hank Green SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It's called SciShow Tangents.
