Extinct no more? Dire Wolves' howls heard after 10,000-year absence

Scientists at a Texas-based company have successfully revived an extinct species through genetic engineering. Colossal Biosciences has created dire wolf pups using ancient DNA, cloning, and gene editing techniques. They utilised the DNA of the gray wolf, the closest living relative of the dire wolf, to bring this remarkable feat to life. The two pups, named Romulus and Remus, are just six months old and already measure nearly four feet in length, weighing over 36 kg.  The dire wolf went extinct around 12,500 years ago, once standing as a top predator in North America. They featured slightly thicker fur and stronger jaws compared to their gray wolf counterparts.
