Colossal Biosciences’ project to revive the once-extinct dire wolf could also prevent existing but endangered animals from slipping into extinction themselves.

Goddamn…this is human technology at its highest peak.Words cannot express how impressive this is…glad it's for a good cause they're using.
saber. toothed. tiger. PLEASE
If you can modify animals to burn fat, does that mean you can modify humans to burn more fat, boom obesity, crisis solved
what ever happened to the Woolly Mammoth clone?
Dang jurasic world is going to happen isn't it…….
Skratch? Com'ere boy!
Genetic Re-spawn!
we should be super suspicious of an American for-profit thatโs privately funded and manufacturing new species with no supervision, with no oversight, and (the animals) all seem to have strong ties to pop culture.our community is being caught up with the hype and the marketing and this propaganda machine, and not actually focusing on the core issue, which is the rate that species are going extinct
Yes it is. A new man made animal.
Whatโs the worst that can happen? ๐
Scary
This is the crime
Meanwhile, 2.33 billion people worldwide experienced moderate or severe food insecurity and 4.4 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water. Additionally, according to the United Nations, approximately 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, due to human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. Collectively, at best, human beings are no better than spoiled children who insist on playing with their toys before theyโve done their homework. At worst, weโre a species defined by its psychopathy.
This achieves nothing with regard to the longevity of a viable planet!
Stop lying, this isn't dire wolf, this is more like mutated grey wolf. It's like changing some genes of a crocodile ๐ and calling is dinosaur ๐ฆ
Just Stop it. Just stop it
Stop playing God. Before god start playing with us humans. Just stop creating jurassic park because that is what this will become
The book of revelations talks about beasts of the earth attacking those left behind. They are bringing back their own demise. IRONY
The abomination that causes desolation
Ooh so will dinosaurs one day be back
Whered the DNA come from
This is fake news, not 1 single shred of direwolf has been recreated, just a grey wolf with altered dna to be white. What a useless video.
Ok. I'm starting to think the world of Michael Crighton's Jurassic Park is possible in the real world now.
Mother Nature starts and stops various species all along the way over the past few million years. As some species fade, others rise. As some species ruse, others fade. It might be a wise action to take a look at the question,โas dude wolves faded, what other species rose?โ
Tinkering with Nature ca unintentionally lead to surprising results. All decisions have consequences. Some are expected, and some are unexpected. Some are beneficial, and others are detrimental.
Allowing these people to freely alter wildlife will be interesting. But could produce results like what we have with pythons and anacondas breeding – and eating – freely in Florida. We now have giant snakes that eat you whole wandering freely there. Reasons #6 and #7 to avoid the area.

… but are they REALLY dire wolves? Seems like they cheated.
They are not Dire Wolves.
That wolf is not a dire wolf. The scientists are lying to us all. This was not born of two dire wolves. It is, at best, a facsimile of a dire wolf. Most of it's DNA is some other type of wolf. This is a lie and a fraud.
Now THIS is what a true scientific breakthrough looks like, the question to whether de-extinction is possible has been solved, and it's thanks to this one here.
Fake news and science…. Taking a handful of new genes and adding them to a wolf( Canis lupus or similar) does not make a Dire wolf. It makes a new subspecies species of wolf. The Dire Wolf was from the Genus Aenocyon dirus and is not related directly to dogs. TIME Who writes this cr@p for you? Stupid!!
They're genetically modified grey wolves, not dire wolves. The misinformation about this story is unreal.
We are all are already a part of nature playing with nature. We are doing exactly what we are supposed to be doing and learning from it. I hope the Thalicine and other extincted animals can be brought back.
Interesting how the dire wolves back slops down toward their tail like a German Shepherdsโ does
They're not dire wolves though.
Interesting fact. Despite the name wolf being in its name, a dire wolf is not a wolf. This quote is the AI generated response, but this is an accepted fact…
"While they shared some physical similarities, dire wolves were not true wolves and diverged from the lineage of modern wolves around 5.7 million years ago. They belonged to a separate genus, Aenocyon, as proposed by Merriam in 1918. Genetic studies have revealed that dire wolves evolved in North America and were more closely related to African jackals than to modern gray wolves"
When "Canini" split in evolution, it formed a "y" shape. On one branch of the Y was the dire wolf (Aenocyon). On the other branch of the y was a part that branched out into four other distinct dog like creatures. Lupulella, African Jackal, Lycaon, African wild dog, Canis (wolves, dogs, eurasian jackels) and Cuon (dhole).
A dire wolf is a wolf in the same way that a fossa is a mongoose
Womp womp. This is not a real dire wolf. It's a genetically modified regular wolf. This is fake news people. Very misleading
Wouldn't it be nice if we could figure out How to Live with the wolves and elephants we Have Now before we spend $$$$$$$$ on New / Old strains of similar species?
Hell, majority of folks think it The Thing to do to shoot a coyote on sight… BOOM! got that sucker!!! Weee Haa!
That's Not getting along with our neighbors ๐ and your bigger wolves? They'll think killing them bigger wolves is the ultimate " fun" and they'll Need Bigger Guns!!!
Wee Haa!
Those are genetically modified Gray Wolves.
Nutty…
Note that in Jurassic Park, dino DNA was harvested from whatever that was preserved in amber. In the book, they stated that there were laws already in place on genetics but apparently, resurrecting dinosaurs was a gray area lol. But the company did set off Federal alarms when it was buying up "tons of amber" and "supercomputers." lol I don't know how true this is…but when the dinos were introduced in the book, Alan Grant stated it was nearly impossible to extract DNA from fossils b/c it was mostly rock at that point.
After seeing this? I guess not, hhmm. Just opens to the door to anything else we could clone or genetically modify. So, the future can either be Terminator, Jurassic Park, or a Star Trek eugenics war haha. Good stuff.
Earth's bio diversity is going extinct. Solution is to create animals that need to Eat a lot. Dumb scientists.
This is why the Climate Change Agenda is a HOAX! Notice that all these "Scientists" are doing Transhumanism. So F it!
Jurassic Park…
the consequences of this work could be dire
I love it. I've seen Dr. Shapiro in different presentations. She is a wonderful lady. I hope the Dodo bird and Tasmanian devil's genes will be here again. The way they were destroyed was heartless and negligent beyond words.
not a dire wolf
Its kinda funny they can bring back an animal that went extinct 10,000 years ago but can't find a cure for cancer
My thing is when they start bringing stuff back are diseases that our immune system arenโt setup for coming back as well
1% dire wolf, 99% grey wolf*
try dinosour next ๐
Sabertooth next plz
So much to "feminism". It does not help us anywhere, is only an ego-"show". If you can do THIS, you can also lift the burden of women "having" to conceive their own biological children only for a certain time in their life, with no possibility to achieve a somewhat decent career according to what they have studied (e.g doctors and nurses, with too long, inhimane working hours!), and start a family, especially when most men do not even want a family today!
