Colossal Biosciences' feat of genetic engineering has people talking, but not every scientist is on board with its claim of having brought back the dire wolf.

Dive into the birth of dire wolf pups, exploring a narrative that combines genetic revival and cultural mythology.

For the first time in over 10,000 years, the howl of a dire wolf is echoing once more—this time, from within a secretive nature preserve in the United States. The predator, long thought extinct and famously mythologized in pop culture like Game of Thrones, is back, thanks to genetic engineering.

Dire wolves who were prominent in HBO's "Game of Thrones" series no longer belong solely to the realm of fantasy. Meet Romulus, Remus and Khaleesi.

Using these fossils, scientists reconstructed the complete genome of the extinct species as part of Colossal's de-extinction process.

Dire wolves, made famous by Game of Thrones, disappeared nearly 13,000 years ago. Now, scientists have successfully bred grey wolf pups with genetic traces of these long-lost ancestors.
