Scientists genetically engineer wolves with white hair and muscular jaws like the extinct dire wolf
- Colossal Biosciences has successfully revived three dire wolf pups named Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi, marking the world's first known de-extinction of a species that went extinct 13,000 years ago.
- The pups were created using ancient DNA from fossils and were genetically modified using CRISPR technology to exhibit traits believed to aid survival in cold climates.
- The dire wolves now live in a 2,000-acre ecological preserve in Texas, with plans to potentially restore the species on indigenous land.
- Experts have expressed skepticism, with some suggesting the project merely involved genetic modification rather than true de-extinction.

A biotech company says it has bred three pups with traits of the extinct dire wolf
A biotech company says it has bred three animals with key physical features of the dire wolf — a species that has been extinct for more than 12,000 years.Colossal Biosciences says it used novel gene-editing technology to alter gray wolf DNA that led to the birth of the pups. Dire wolves recently featured prominently in the HBO series Game of Thrones.“Our team took DNA from a 13,000 year old tooth and a 72,000 year old skull and made healthy dire…
