With the help of a modern wolf’s genetic code, a Texas-based company says DNA from the extinct dire wolf is now back in living animals.

Languages: English For the first time in over 10,000 years, the howl of a dire wolf is echoing once more—this time, from within a secretive nature preserve in the United States. The predator, long thought extinct and famously mythologized in pop culture like Game of Thrones,

Three genetically engineered wolves that may resemble extinct dire wolves are trotting, sleeping and howling in an undisclosed secure location in the U.S., according to the company that aims to bring back lost species.

Dire wolves, made famous by “Game of Thrones,” went extinct some 13,000 years ago. Now, researchers have bred gray-wolf pups that carry genes of their ancient cousins.

Colossal Biosciences, the private company aiming to bring back from extinction the woolly mammoth, announced today that it had produced three dire wolf pups using genetic editing and cloning. The researchers at the company extracted and sequenced the genomes of dire wolves from a 13,

For the first time in thousands of years, dire wolves are alive – or at least a close approximation to them – as scientists claim to have achieved the world's first successful animal de-extinction.Colossal Biosciences announced the
