Tasmanian Wolves of Felwiter's Peak
I have been recently researching the Thylacine, a unique marsupial that is commonly called a Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf. This animal has been presumably extinct since 'Benjamin' died in Hobart zoo on September 7, 1936. He was left out in the cold to die (basically Harambe 1936). The physiology of the Thylacine is so close to that of a Wolf that there skeletons are easily confused. The Thylacine also has bold stripes that run along its back. When I was in the new social zone I saw the stripes on the wolves and immediately thought of the Thylacine. Then I saw it yawn and I was sold because the Thylacine was known for its yawn in which its mouth would open to 120 degrees. It may not have been on purpose but those wolves aren't actually wolves; their thylacines.

Their snouts are not long enough to be Thylacines. You know that.

In the grimore cards they say wolves. Check the frames grimore from the iron temple.

Interesting theory!

3 RepliesEdited by SlenderPayton: 9/26/2016 6:32:36 PMI understand that the thylacine didn't have as much fur as these wolves and also couldn't withstand the cold. I don't seriously think that the wolves are thylacines. It was really just a fun way to explain the way too emboldened stripes and the ridiculous jaw angle of the yawn. I'd be surprised if even half the people at Bungie knew what a thylacine was. [url]http://www.naturalworlds.org/thylacine/art/illustration/NHI015.jpg[/url]

Whatever those things are on Felwinter Peak, they look like they have Down's Syndrome.

They're not thylacines http://i.imgur.com/7INFxAi.png They're likely based on Grey wolves which range as far as Siberia. http://i.imgur.com/D0ExBBt.png The ones in the cinematic certainly and concept certainly are. http://i.imgur.com/e3fdpg1.png

Instead of recording wolves walking on snow to "get it right" how about you give me 10 exotic engrams and complete control over Destiny 2-99

Edited by The BEATDWN: 9/26/2016 2:50:38 PMThey are clearly grey wolves. They look absolutely nothing like Tasmanian tigers. The bone ftructure is similar sure but the animals look very different. They didn't call it the young thylacines howl, did they.

They're just wolves the animation is just shot because they rushed rise of iron out because people were complaining about content.
-
They look nothing alike
-
Looks a lot more like a wolf than a thylacine.

7 RepliesI know about the Tasmanian wolf, and about its huge yawn. The problem is that they don't live in altitude and in the cold (wolves can support more of it).
-
3 RepliesThey're actually modeled off of timber wolves

didn't Bungie say they brought in wolf experts to help with the wolves?
-
But if Benjamin died out in the cold then why are they on the mountain? Unless somehow the traveler revived the species and made them resistant to cold

Look up a photo of a thylacine yawning and then watch a wolf in the iron temple until it yawns
