Wolves were top predators a long time ago

When our Paleolithic ancestors first settled Eurasia roughly 100,000 years ago,wolves were one of their main rivals at the top of the food chain.Able to exert over 300 lbs. of pressure in one bone-crushing bite and sniff out prey more than a mile away,these formidable predators didn’t have
much competition.Much like human hunter-gatherers,they lived and hunted in complex social groups consisting of a few nuclear families,and used their social skills to cooperatively take down larger creatures.
