Colossal Biosciences Revives Dire Wolf, Musk Calls for Pet Woolly Mammoth

Colossal Biosciences has successfully revived the extinct dire wolf, marking a significant milestone in de-extinction efforts. The biotech company introduced three puppies named Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi, created through advanced gene-editing techniques that altered gray wolf DNA to resemble their ancient counterparts. The announcement gained attention when Elon Musk reacted on social media, humorously requesting the creation of a miniature woolly mammoth as a pet. While many celebrated the revival, concerns were raised about the ecological implications of bringing back extinct species, with critics suggesting funds would be better spent on current conservation efforts. Colossal aims to use these revived animals to help restore damaged ecosystems. The dire wolves live in a secure facility designed for monitoring and research as scientists analyze their health and behavior.
