Colossal Biosciences has successfully revived the dire wolf, an extinct species, by using genetic editing techniques on grey wolf DNA. This process involved obtaining dire wolf DNA samples from fossils and incorporating key traits of the extinct species into grey wolf embryos. Currently, three 'near-dire wolves' are living and showcasing their distinctive features such as larger size and unique vocalizations. This victory in de-extinction fuels aspirations to bring back other extinct animals, like the woolly mammoth, potentially changing conservation and species revival efforts.
Thanks to the heroic work of Colossal Biosciences, the canine species that went extinct more than 10,000 years ago has been revived in a stunning act of so-called de-extinction.
Colossal got samples of dire wolf DNA from fossils, and edited the DNA of grey wolves to add key characteristics of the extinct species.
