Dire wolves are of the north. I learned that from the Stark family.

Well, they WERE wolves....
Until Bill Gates got in his time machine, went back to the early Holocene, and tested some of his vaccines on them.

There was a young lady from Niger,
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger.

They came back from the ride
With the lady inside,

And the smile on the face of the tiger.
