See the first new dire wolf cubs born in over 12,000 years

Colossal Biosciences, a Dallas-based biotech company, has claimed to have resurrected the dire wolf, to create the “world’s first successfully de-extincted animal.” Scientists created three dire wolf pups by using gene-editing technology to alter the genes of the dire wolf's closest living relative, the gray wolf. The result is essentially a hybrid species similar in appearance to its extinct forerunner.
