Dire Wolves Return, But It's Not Westeros—It’s Real Life

from Nina's What's Trending on The Jubal Show · host The Jubal Show

Dire Wolves Are Howling Again—For Real This Time Nope, this isn’t a fan-fiction plot twist. Colossal Biosciences, a genetic engineering company known as “The De-Extinction Company,” has just announced the successful de-extinction of the dire wolf, the massive canine made famous by Game of Thrones. Using DNA pulled from two fossil samples and combining it with 20 precise gene edits to a gray wolf (the dire wolf’s closest living cousin), researchers have created a living, breathing version of the prehistoric predator. While not a perfect clone, it’s the closest science has ever come to reviving an extinct species—and it's officially the first de-extinct animal to walk the Earth again. And yes, it howls.
