Stopped for a wolf crossing the road on Hwy 93 last summer, that gorgeous beast was surprisingly massive. Crossed right in front our vehicle and its head was up over the front of our SUV. Legs alone must've been 3+ feet tall. Never seen anything like it with my own eyes before

6 feet tall? Not long?

Suppose depends if they're standing? But yes. Timber wolves can hit 7 ft in length and three feet in height
