Scientists worldwide have long explored the possibility of reviving extinct species, particularly dinosaurs.
While dinosaurs remain out of reach, a major scientific breakthrough has brought back the Dire wolf — a species believed to have gone extinct around 13,000 years ago.
This remarkable achievement took place at Colossal’s Dallas laboratory in the United States. Researchers successfully recreated the genetic structure of the extinct Dire wolf by extracting DNA from fossils and inserting it into the egg cells of a modern-day gray wolf.
This groundbreaking method marks the first time an extinct animal has been brought back to life in this way. Sperm developed using the Dire wolf’s genetic code were implanted into a pet dog’s womb, resulting in the birth of three healthy puppies.
The puppies, named Kalesi, Romulus, and Remus, resemble the legendary Dire wolves popularized by the global TV hit Game of Thrones. Scientists view this as a monumental step in de-extinction research and a significant leap forward in genetic science.
