Two weeks ago, I traveled to a secret location in the northern US to meet two white wolves, Romulus and Remus, made by de-extinction startup Colossal Biosciences. The company says they're dire wolves. Are they? My story with @mattreynolds.bsky.social for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/scient...
Scientists Claim to Have Brought Back the Dire Wolf
Startup Colossal Biosciences has edited the DNA of a gray wolf to produce what it says is a de-extincted animal. Does that make it a true dire wolf?
