George R.R. Martin Marks Dire Wolf's Return After 10,000 Years

George R.R. Martin, the author behind 'Game of Thrones,' recently met with genetically engineered dire wolves, a species that has been extinct for over 10,000 years, thanks to the efforts of Colossal Biosciences. In an emotional encounter, Martin expressed his delight, sharing that it was one of the greatest moments of his life, and described the return of the dire wolf as 'astonishing.' However, many fans on social media voiced their frustration that the resurrection of this species occurred before Martin finished his long-awaited sixth book, 'Winds of Winter.' Comments such as 'we got actual dire wolves before the winds of winter' highlighted the ongoing impatience for the novel. The dire wolves, named Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi, are part of a project that utilizes advanced gene-editing techniques for de-extinction. Martin's connection to the species, popularized in his work, has drawn significant attention and sparked discussions around both the scientific achievement and his literary commitments.
