One giant paw-print stirs an age-old debate: how big can a wolf be? A man in the Northwest Territories spotted giant wolf tracks, 7½ inches long.

He couldn’t get a good look, so he drove home and returned to the scene during his precious four-hour window of subarctic daylight. The second visit confirmed his suspicions: these were giant wolf tracks, 7½ inches long.
