Agreed. These wolves are a subspecies of gray wolf. As long as they can breed with gray wolves and produce non-sterile offspring, they aren’t a separate species.

Two species in the same family can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Dogs, wolves and coyotes can all reproduce with each other and produce fertile hybrid offspring.

This is interesting. I know the article is asserting this is in fact a revival the authentic old species. I can't tell from it if it meets the scientific definitions of such.

I think this is foray into science is exciting and cool, but I worry about both the ethics and safety. Will need to think about it more.

If this is in fact possible, I think it implies that folks who have been long dead can have children today. Yikes!
