In a historic leap for science and conservation, Colossal Biosciences has successfully resurrected the dire wolf (Aenocyon dirus)—a species that vanished over 10,000 years ago. Using ancient DNA recovered from fossils, CRISPR gene editing, and cutting-edge cloning techniques, the team created two healthy dire wolf pups: Romulus and Remus. By editing gray wolf cells with dire wolf DNA and implanting them into surrogate domestic dogs, scientists have achieved the world’s first successful de-extinc
