In this howlingly strange mini, we sink our teeth into the buzz around Colossal Biosciences' claim that they’ve resurrected the dire wolf—yes, the same fang-faced legends from Game of Thrones. But are these snow-white pups really ancient predators reborn, or just very expensive cosplay wolves? We sniff out the science behind gene editing, prehistoric DNA, and some eyebrow-raising semantics as scientists clash over whether Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi are breakthroughs in de-extinction—or just glorified gray wolves with a dramatic backstory. Spoiler alert: evolution is messier than your average family tree.
