Have Dire Wolves, Which Went Extinct More Than 10,000 Years Ago, Really Been Brought Back to Life?
Pioneers in the science of "de-extinction," an American company has announced the births of three pups whose genes resemble those of a species that hasn't roamed Earth for millennia
The dire wolf, which went extinct 12,500 years ago, revived by biotech company
Colossal Biosciences said it used ancient DNA from the extinct species to create three dire wolf pups named Romulus, Remus and Khaleesi.
Scientists Revive the Dire Wolf, or Something Close
Dire wolves, made famous by “Game of Thrones,” went extinct some 13,000 years ago. Now, researchers have bred gray-wolf pups that carry genes of their ancient cousins.
Scientists genetically engineer wolves similar to extinct dire wolf
Three genetically engineered wolves that may resemble extinct dire wolves are trotting, sleeping and howling in an undisclosed, secure location in the U.S., according to the company that aims
Scientists genetically engineer wolves with white hair and muscular jaws like the extinct dire wolf
Three genetically engineered wolves that may resemble extinct dire wolves are trotting, sleeping, and howling in an undisclosed secure location in the U.S.
Did scientists bring the dire wolf back from extinction? Why some critics say no
A Texas-based genetics company says the long-extinct dire wolf is back. Some critics say that's not quite true.
De-extinction company announces that the dire wolf is back
The dire wolf is a relative of the now-common grey wolf, with clear differences apparent between the two species' skeletons. Based on the sequence of two new dire wolf genomes, the researchers at Colossal conclude that dire wolves formed a distinct branch within the canids over 2.
Colossal Biosciences brings back dire wolves
Dire wolves were animals that last roamed the Earth about 13,000 years ago. Now scientific developments are helping revive these ancient creatures made famous by "Game of Thrones". FOX's Gary Baumgarten has the details.
Dire wolf reportedly brought back from extinction
They are the first dire wolves to be born since their extinction over 12,000 years ago, according to NPR. “Our team took DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies,
