Episode description

(image source: https://dinopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Dire_Wolf?file=Direwolf1.jpg)

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Canis dirus, the giant wolf ridden by orcs if dorky fantasy stories are to be believed. From the Late Pleistocene, this 5-foot dog hunted mastodons and ground sloths while competing with saber-toothed cats for the rank of dominant predator. Because even in prehistoric times, cats and dogs are never friends.
