The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years.
This moment marks not only a milestone for US as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: "To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species." By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on- accepting humanity's duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.
But this isn't just our moment--it's one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of
US.

This is a sensationalized non-story. They just tweaked a few genes to make some gray wolves white and bigger. They are still like 99% gray wolf.

I want one. Nothing says redneck better than a six foot long, 3 1/2 ft tall, 150 lb wolf riding in the back of my truck.
