The genome was reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils

The fossils date back 11,500 and 72,000 years

Colossal Biosciences said: "This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear:

To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.

By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state."

Sadly the scientists made the cub gay for dei purposes so it will die alone

Better, a petting zoo!

You’ve got it wrong. Our AI masters will bring these and worse back to hunt the few human survivors left.

“These guys are so focused on whether they could do this, and never consider whether they should do this.”

I don’t care if you are religious, but God gave us a pretty well ordered world. We certainly aren’t mature enough to
correct any “mistakes” God made.
We make so many of our own, we can’t deal with it.
What is wrong with the wolves we have?

Don’t mess with Mother Nature!

All we need is ****ing fire wolves roaming the forests. It will be a real pain to need a Ma Deuce to go camping.

A Dire Wolf? The scientists created a dire wolf pup? They do realize that dire wolves eat trucks, and can swat a helicopter out of the sky?

“”Their time came....and went. So they accomplished what?? It’s all about GRANT MONEY.””

And... they get to “play God” while they rake it in.

Now that they can make them big now it is time to make them smart by adding the FOXP2 gene for language....

[LegendHasIt]

You probably have it right. Thanks for dashing my forlorn hopes. ;-)

In a lot of states it is a felony to kill a wolf,
even in self defense.
Blue states presume YOU are the invader
in their home.

A few years down the road—bringing back the Tyrannosaurus Rex with DNA from an emu.

I'm expecting a "lab leak" soon.

Anything to make "Nature" uninhabitable, but for the corporate sponsors.

Maybe they can create something Al Green can mate with.

That would be a Neanderthal woman.

You give the people money and what do they do? Besides torture animals.

Nice doggie...

Yep they think they are God like many communists, enviros and other whackos.

[know.your.why]

What is a Neanderthal woman? Sorry. It had to be done...
