To introduce an animal like this in the wild will have catastrophic consequences; i.e., mass extinctions.

These wolves are monsters!

When I awoke, the dire wolf
600 pounds of sin
Was grinning at my window
All I said was, “Come on in”

[larrytown]

Can’t wait for the old blue-haired misanthropic hippie chick to try and sneak in to ‘coexist’ with these ‘noble kings of the forest’.

And of course some trailer-trash that wants to have them as pets.

Hopefully we won't see a real-life version of the movie "Rampage" in our future.

They're not really Dire Wolves. While sharing about 98.8% of the genome with timber wolves, dire wolves have significant differences in the placement of the genes. They separated about 6 million years ago from other canids.

Those differences are comparable to those between a chimpanzee and a human. It's like creating a chimp and calling it a Neanderthal.

At just six months old, Romulus and Remus, the older siblings of the trio, now weigh over 40 kilograms (around 90 pounds), nearly 20% heavier than a typical gray wolf.

There's the potential for a movie at least:

The Revenge of Remus.

I want one.

Maybe we need a few thousand along the borders.

”we can’t clone extinct animals because the DNA is not well enough preserved.”

Just plug in some frog DNA. Easy peasy.

What we have here is a Pandora’s box.

I'm gonna need a bigger saddle.

Big White Wolves: dat be racis.

[ConservativeMind]

What do they taste like?

Come see them and feed them in Late Pleistocene World™!

We’ll be sorry we’re playing around with animal genetics.

What? No short-faced bear? :^)
