They are one species, like dogs, the variety is quite high. Wolves have numerous subspecies. As with other mammals, it's quite common to find the largest ones closer to the poles.
Ive worked in a house where the owner had a pet wolf. It was fucking huge. Idk why you feel the need to say that there are small wolves, but i havent seen one.
Have you come face to face with a wolf before? I went to a preserve and 2 ran out to lick my face. I took one on a walk. I've played with great danes ,bernards, Irish wolfhounds, newfies, mastiffs, it's not the same.
I think you're wrong, doggo looks alive in this pic. Gun on the back should probably be best practice when hiking in the wilderness (especially when in wolf/bear country)
Really? It looks quite alive to me, I would assume that pose and expression take some muscle tension to hold. But tbh, if there were wolves that big around me, I would carry a gun as well. You know, just in case, I'd rather look stupid than become the statistic anomaly.

Wolves come in different species. Canadian Timber Wolves are frigging huge. Not as big as a St Bernard huge, but still 80kg huge.

Because humans hunted wolves nearly to extinction basically everywhere they exist because they were relatively dangerous to us.
We have made them larger in media and paintings and basically anywhere a wolf is imaged.
“Big bad wolf” is the common idea.

Folks I have a strong feeling that animal is dead. The lady’s got a gun on her back.
