Dire Wolf statue Elephant Odyssey

The dire wolf was about one-third larger than the modern grey wolf. More dire wolves than any other species have been discovered in the tar pits. At the George Page Museum at the La Brea Tarpits in Los Angeles there is an exhibit with 300 dire wolf skulls: http://www.flickr.com/photos/markusnl/5558692938/
There are several new statues in Elephant Odyssey. I wish some of their modern equivalents were there as well. Andean Bears, Gray Wolves, Cheetahs?

There are grey wolves and a cheetah over in the Urban Jungle area; I'm not sure when the zoo last had Andean bears.
 
I only found out quite recently that this is a real, though extinct, species. I initially thought George R. R. Martin made them up for Game of Thrones.
