NEW: Scientists have brought back dire wolves using ancient DNA, with the first born on October 1, 2024, over 10,000 years after their extinction
The genome was reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils
The fossils date back 11,500 and 72,000 years

The genome was reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils The fossils date back 11,500 and 72,000 years Colossal Biosciences said: “This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species. By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.”
- Remember Jurassic Park? “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn’t stop to think if they should.” – Sarah Fields
- It’s not bad enough that we’re funding labs bringing us new viruses that can destroy the world. Now we want to bring back creatures from 10,000 years ago with no idea how they might create catastrophic problems with our ecosystem. We need to stop funding these lunatics. – Vincent
- These wolves died in the cataclysmic events of the Younger Dryas, 11,000 years ago. They didn’t die for natural causes. As the most inteligent species on this planet, we can and we should be, the Guardians of this ecosystem. Carefully re-introduction CAN be achieved – Rod
- AI – Grok says: “The claim in the X post about dire wolves being brought back using ancient DNA is not entirely accurate. Colossal Biosciences announced the birth of two genetically modified grey wolves, Romulus and Remus, on October 1, 2024, engineered to resemble dire wolves. The company used CRISPR technology to edit the genes of grey wolves, not to reconstruct a dire wolf genome from ancient DNA as the post suggests. A 2021 study in Nature found dire wolves are not closely related to grey wolves, contradicting earlier assumptions about their genetic ties. Colossal Biosciences modified the grey wolves to have fluffy white fur, based on their analysis that dire wolves likely had snow-colored fur. Critics argue this is not true de-extinction but rather genetic modification, as no actual dire wolf DNA was used in the process. The project has sparked ethical debates, with some comparing it to “Jurassic Park” and warning of potential ecological risks. At six months old, Romulus and Remus are reportedly 4 feet long and do not interact well with humans, raising concerns about their integration into modern ecosystems.”
- Interesting. I understand that Dire wolves essentially became extinct because they could not breed with other wolf populations and were better suited to taking down larger, slower prey with their larger overall size and stronger jaws and teeth. I will be curious to see how this species does and if they will be reintroduced into the general population. If so, what is the overall outcome. People have a fascination with dire wolves thanks to Game of Thrones. – Warrior Wolf
- The revival of dire wolves is a mind-blowing leap in science, proof we can literally rewrite the past with tools like CRISPR. It’s fascinating to see a species from the Ice Age roaming again, blending ancient DNA with modern biotech. But it’s also unsettling… what’s next? Saber-toothed cats? Mammoths? Or something we can’t predict? The line between playing nature’s historian and its architect is blurring fast, and I wonder if we’re ready for the consequences… ecological, ethical, or otherwise. – Bradley T
- Maybe there was a reason for the extinction? Maybe we shouldn’t muck around with the natural order of things? Look at how glorious the killer bee thing worked. What’s next, Velociraptors? They would make a hell of a watch dog. – The Rock
- The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state. But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us. – Collossal B
This one is FUCKING WILD. Literally. Ben Lamm and his team are Colossal Biosciences have brought back the Dire Wolf. Fascinating conversation available now on Spotify – Joe Rogan
