Colossal Revives Dire Wolves, Plans Woolly Mammoth Next

Colossal Biosciences, a Texas-based biotech company, has achieved a groundbreaking scientific milestone by bringing the extinct dire wolf back to life. Using DNA from fossils and precise genetic editing of a gray wolf's genome, the company produced three healthy dire wolves: Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi. The wolves are being raised in a secure, undisclosed ecological preserve. This de-extinction endeavor marks the first successful recreation of an extinct species, demonstrating Colossal's advanced gene-editing technology. The project has garnered attention due to its ties with popular culture icons like 'Game of Thrones' and the involvement of significant investors such as George R.R. Martin. Colossal plans to continue its de-extinction efforts, aiming to revive other extinct species like the woolly mammoth in the future.
