Ice Age wolf head found in Siberia

Wonder how different these are from modern wolves in the same area
 
Saw a blurb on my news feed this morning. It’s interesting.
 
Is that head really any larger than a modern northern Timberwolf?
 
This was featured on a Science channel show about the ice age animals. It was pretty neat. Incredible how much was still intact.
 
Allegedly this happened prior to the arrival of man in the region (not sure I agree with the implicit assumption about hominid spread timeline. We now know there were a number of hominids dispersed around the globe prior to Sapiens) Given that the head wasn't eaten, then who or what decapitated it? Certainly didn't show the hallmarks of a bear attack.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
