Mississippi has changed over millions of years and everything from sea monster to dire wolf fossils can be found here.

Last month, the return of the dire wolf took over the media—it’s one of the first “happy” headlines to take off in a while. I ...

Genetically modifying gray wolves to resemble the extinct dire wolf may be an impressive scientific feat, but it’s no substitute for protecting living species that are currently at risk.

researchers edited gray wolf DNA to express characteristics typical of the prehistoric dire wolf, such as larger body size and more robust teeth. The edited nuclei were then extracted from these ...

Other scientists have pointed out that breeding an animal with many of the same traits as an extinct animal — in the dire wolf’s case, chiefly a white coat and large size — is not the same ...

Ganzert, chief executive of the American Humane Society, gushed on Colossal’s website. The dire wolf genome likely differs from that of the gray wolf in millions or tens of millions of ways.

Colossal reported that it had successfully resurrected the dire wolf from its 12,000-year-long extinction. The feat was "the world's first de-extinction," the company said — "a revolutionary ...

However, living, breathing dire wolves born in a groundbreaking scientific achievement. Colossal Biosciences has announced the birth of the world’s first de-extinct animals: three dire wolf pups ...

announced earlier this month that it had created three dire wolves (Aenocyon dirus) by editing genes in grey wolf (Canis lupus) embryos. Receive a weekly dose of discovery in your inbox!

which shares a common ancestor with the dire wolf. The DNA produced three pups, named Romulus, Remus and Khaleesi, with a lighter coat and larger size than gray wolves. The pups are being raised at a ...

Genetically modified wolf pups Romulus and Remus, two of three successfully bred by reconstructing a genome from the ancient DNA of fossils from the dire wolf that had been extinct for over 12,500 ...

Look no further than the Colossal Biosciences company, which lit up the internet in early April with its claim that it had brought the dire wolf back from extinction — nearly 10,000 years after ...
