Scientists Warn Dire Wolves’ De-Extinction Risks Lethal Consequences, Mirroring Jurassic Park Fears
Scientists Resurrect Dire Wolves Using Ancient DNA, Sparking Ecological Concerns Texas-based genetic engineering company Colossal Biosciences has announced the successful de-extinction of the dire wolf (Aenocyon dirus), a species that vanished 13,000 years ago. The breakthrough involved combining DNA from fossilized remains with genes from modern grey wolves, resulting in three hybrid pups named Romulus, […]
