In a stunning scientific breakthrough, biotech company Colossal Biosciences has successfully brought the extinct dire wolf back to life, using advanced gene-editing techniques to “turn on” ancient DNA within modern gray wolves. Dubbed Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi, the recreated pups are genetically identical to their Ice Age ancestors and mark the first of their kind seen in 13,000 years. This Jurassic Park-like moment has sparked awe—and concern—about the future of de-extinction, as the company sets its sights next on resurrecting the woolly mammoth by 2028.
