Extinct animal size question?

[tristitia]

So, I have a character that would be in a dire wolf body but the definition of those vary so.... would I get small or large for her?

[align=center][div style="borderwidth=0px; width: 55%; line-height:115%; text-align: justify;font-family: calibri;"]depends solely on how big you want her to be!

A direwolf height is around a gray wolf, 2-3ft, so small would do the trick!

Spoiler:

Though, there is an extinct wolf/dog species that's bigger than the dire wolf, that I don't think is as well known!! It's called Epicyon Haydeni, it'd also fall under the small mythical item! (it's 100cm/3.2 feet in height(so height wise it's only a bit taller actually) but it's 5.5 feet/1.7m in length)

[member=44]Sky;;[/member] I love the visuals. Those help a lot. Thanks so much. I’ll likely make her an Epicyon then!

[div style="margin: 0 auto; border-width:0; width: 70%; text-align: justify; line-height: 1; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 10pt;"] i don't know if i'm too qualified to give an answer for this but -

on this site it's stated that the dire wolf stood about two feet tall and weighed anywhere between 110 - 150 pounds. there's also this site which states it was about 80 cm // 2.6 ft tall (at the shoulder) i took a look at a few other sites which had (a few) wildly different estimations down but these two seemed the most reliable & informative to me. so i would say anywhere within that size bracket, which would definitely be the small shop item.

((ack, it was already answered while i was writing but i'll leave this in case you wanna look at the sites :0))
