In a stunning scientific breakthrough, Colossal Biosciences—the world’s only de-extinction company—has just announced the successful revival of the dire wolf, making it the first animal ever brought back from extinction. Long believed to be more legend than reality, thanks in part to its fame in HBO’s Game of Thrones, the dire wolf was once a real apex predator roaming North America over 12,500 years ago. Now, after years of cutting-edge genetic engineering, this iconic Ice Age canid walks the Earth again, bridging the gap between ancient history and modern science.
