Among the thousands of dire wolf specimens at La Brea #TarPits is this 𝘈𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘺𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘶𝘴 lower jaw. Known as “The Endling”—the last known #direwolf fossil on Earth—this fossil is dated to be approximately 13,082 years old. See the fossil now on view in our Fossil Lab!

If you want to see dire wolves, the place to go is LA’s La Brea asphalt seep. Thousands of individuals were trapped and preserved there, a view of populations over time and unique moments. The collection even includes a broken, healed, Aenocyon dirus baculum from what was surely a dire moment. 🧪

It's not a dire wolf. It's a gray wolf clone with 20 dire-wolf gene edits, and with some dire wolf traits. And here's my story! Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/s...
