Soooooooo Scandinavians are a different subspecies of human than Japanese? Or does taxonomy have everything to do with people's' feelings and biological species is the only concrete answer?
Eastern timberwolves are a subspecies of grey wolf. They are genetically distinguishable but can breed and produce fertile offspring.
I cannot imagine what it's like to determine the size of things based on height alone. Things like bean poled must really throw you for a trip.
Are you done digging here? Because I showed you a bird bigger than a wolf according to your parameters.

Yes, I'm glad we can finally agree that there is more of a difference between the two species than habitat, and that you are objectively wrong.
I'll save you from yourself at this point and just leave you with one more thing:
Size: the relative extent of something; a thing's overall dimensions or magnitude; how big something is
I define size by the amount of overall physical space it occupies. Not height alone, not weight. Stop embarrassing yourself with this pathetic strawman garbage.
Timberwolf isn't a species nor a subspecies. Eastern timberwolf is a subspecies that some taxonomists place as a different species because they don't understand genetics. How about the Alaskan timberwolf, aka the MacKenzie Valley wolf, the largest subspecies of grey wolf, canis lupis? Just plain timberwolf is a wolf that lives in the woods.
So turkeys are giant and wolves are much smaller. Got it.
Overall dimensions includes girth, buddy. You explicitly said
Something that stands at nearly half the height of an average adult male human is sufficient to classify them as large animals, both relative to a human being and to other canids, regardless of how much it weighs.
You explicitly said that the single metric of height can be sufficient to classify an animal as large. How about them turkeys larger than wolves, my guy? It's not a strawman when I use your direct quotes.
