North America during the late Pleistocene: a pack of dire wolves (red hair) are feeding bison while a pair of grey wolves approach in the hopes of scavenging. Mauricio Antón

Our research shows dire wolves lived in the tropics not the Arctic, and were not especially close relatives of the grey wolf.
