Has the Dire Wolf been resurrected from extinction by a Texas biotech firm, or are these just slightly bigger, slightly whiter, plain old boring garden-variety wolves?
And are DireDoodles next? Here’s a new Right Angle video, featuring Scott Ott discussing the Dire Wolf with Steve Green and Bill Whittle.
Scientists have resurrected the long-extinct dire wolf after 11,000 years, sparking fierce ethical debates over the limits of genetic science.
In a shocking turn of events, reminiscent of a real-life Jurassic Park, scientists have brought three dire wolves—extinct for over 11,000 years—back to life, raising significant ethical concerns. This breakthrough has sparked intense ethical debates, with the famous words of Dr. Ian Malcolm echoing: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
Colossal Laboratories & Biosciences, the same company working to resurrect the woolly mammoth, performed the DNA cloning.
In other shocking news, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Steven L. Kwast announced during a speech that the Space Force possesses technology capable of traveling anywhere in the world in under an hour. What kind of technology are they hiding? Could this be related to the recent UFO disclosures? Stay tuned as we bring you more on this story tomorrow. Today, join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts from Edge of Wonder in another live video.
A biosciences company has revived a species of rare wolves that went extinct thousands of years ago. The dire wolf, often associated with the Game of Thrones, was a real animal that lived across the Americas, as well as parts of Asia and Europe, more than 10,000 years ago.
Colossal Biosciences, based out of Dallas, Texas, has succeeded in bringing back three of the wolves — two brothers — Remus and Romulus — and now, a younger sister named Khalessi. The CEO of the firm, Ben Lamm, revealed the dire wolf success in a talk Monday with Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience. The wolves are not yet hunting, but they have a 2,000-acre preserve — at an undisclosed American location — where they are free to roam.
“I could not be more proud of the team. This massive milestone is the first of many coming examples demonstrating that our end-to-end de-extinction technology stack works,” Lamm said. “Our team took DNA from a 13,000 year old tooth and a 72,000 year old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies. It was once said, ‘any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.’ Today, our team gets to unveil some of the magic they are working on and its broader impact on conservation.”
Colossal Biosciences is working on reviving other extinct species, notably the woolly mammoth.
