A biotech company made history with the birth of three genetically engineered wolves: What we know about these prehistoric predators

The company is calling them dire wolves and is referring to this as the world's first successfully "de-extincted" animal. The same approach can be used to resurrect other extinct species for which ancient DNA is available, according to the company.

Dire wolves who were prominent in HBO's "Game of Thrones" series no longer belong solely to the realm of fantasy. Meet Romulus, Remus and Khaleesi.

A company that aims to bring back lost species say they have genetically engineered wolves with white hair and muscular jaws like the extinct dire wolf.

Dire wolves have been extinct for more than 10,000 years. But now, three of them are roaming around somewhere in the U.S. Well, sort

For more than 2 million years, dire wolves roamed present-day North America until their extinction around 10,000 B.C. Forrest Galante, adviser for Colossal Biosciences and a wildlife biologist, discusses the technology the company is using to return dire wolves from extinction.

A Texas bioscience firm announced that it used gene editing to resurrect the extinct dire wolf. Here’s what this evolutionary biologist would like to see it work on next.

Researchers at Texas-based Colossal Biosciences have successfully used DNA from Gulf Coast coyotes to clone four pups with a significant percentage of red wolf DNA.
