SAIn a groundbreaking feat, Colossal Biosciences @itiscolossal has brought the dire wolf back from extinction, birthing three pups named Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi—nods to the iconic “Game of Thrones” beasts. Announced on April 7, 2025, this marks the world’s first successful de-extinction. The white-coated dire wolf, which roamed North and South America until vanishing 12,000 years ago due to prey loss, is now alive again thanks to genetic engineering. Colossal extracted DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth from Sheridan Pit, Ohio, and a 72,000-year-old ear bone from American Falls, Idaho, achieving 500x more genome coverage than ever before.
CEO Ben Lamm shared, “Our team took ancient DNA and made healthy dire wolf puppies.” Using gray wolves—the dire wolf’s closest kin—scientists edited 15 extinct genetic variants into the gray wolf genome, reviving traits unseen for millennia, like larger size, wider heads, and thick, light fur. The edited cells were cloned via somatic cell nuclear transfer, placed into surrogate dogs, and born in October 2024. The pups now thrive in a 2,000-acre U.S. preserve.
Colossal, which made waves last month with a “woolly mouse” using mammoth DNA, aims to revive the woolly mammoth by 2028. Dr. Beth Shapiro, Chief Science Officer, called their approach a new standard for paleogenome reconstruction, while Dr. Christopher Mason hailed it as a leap for conservation, potentially aiding endangered species. #DireWolf #DeExtinction #ColossalBiosciences #RomulusRemusKhaleesi #GameOfThrones #GeneticEngineering #AncientDNA #GrayWolf #ScienceBreakthrough #WoollyMammoth #Biotech #Conservation #Paleogenome #BenLamm #BethShapiro #ChristopherMason #FossilDNA #SheridanPit #AmericanFalls #ExtinctSpecies #Cloning #SurrogateBirth #EcoPreserve #ScienceNews #WildlifeRevival #GenomicAnalysis #DNAEditing #SpeciesRevival #TechLeap #NatureComeback

SEScientists over at @ItisColossal Biosciences, led by the super-talented geneticist George Church, have pulled off something truly amazing in the world of genetic science, they’ve brought back some traits of the long-extinct dire wolf! These massive prehistoric beasts, gone for thousands of years, are making a comeback in spirit thanks to some clever work with ancient DNA and the cutting-edge CRISPR gene-editing tech. They’ve tweaked the genes of modern gray wolves to bring out those wild, prehistoric characteristics that made dire wolves so iconic. It’s not just a cool trick, it’s pushing the limits of de-extinction and showing off just how powerful genetic engineering can be!

TIThe dire wolf once roamed an American range that extended as far south as Venezuela and as far north as Canada, but not a single one has been seen in over 10,000 years, when the species went extinct. Plenty of dire wolf remains have been discovered across the Americas, however, and that presented an opportunity for a company named Colossal Biosciences.
Relying on deft genetic engineering and ancient, preserved DNA, Colossal scientists deciphered the dire wolf genome, rewrote the genetic code of the common gray wolf to match it, and, using domestic dogs as surrogate mothers, brought three dire wolf pups into the world during three separate births last fall and this winter—effectively for the first time de-extincting a line of beasts whose live gene pool long ago vanished.

SQScientists Are Reincarnating the Woolly Mammoth to Return in 4 Years
In a historic building in Deep Ellum, a colossal effort is underway to bring some of the most famously extinct animals back to life. The wild mission comes from a Dallas-based company called Colossal Biosciences which is working to de-extinct the woolly mammoth, lost 4,000 years ago.Colossal recently added $60 million in funding to move toward a 2027 de-extinction of the woolly mammoth.
The Dallas-based company is now working to edit the genes for the reincarnation of the mammal.
Colossal planned to reintroduce the woolly mammoth into Russia, but that may shift.The long-dead woolly mammoth will make its return from extinction by 2027, says Colossal, the biotech company actively working to reincarnate the ancient beast.
Last year, the Dallas-based firm scored an additional $60 million in funding to continue the, well, mammoth gene-editing work it started in 2021. If successful, not only will Colossal bring back an extinct species—one the company dubs a cold-resistant elephant—but it will also reintroduce the woolly mammoth to the same ecosystem in which it once lived in an effort to fight climate change, according to a recent Medium post.Colossal calls the woolly mammoth’s vast migration patterns an active part of preserving the health of the Arctic, and so bringing the animal back to life can have a beneficial impact on the health of the world’s ecosystem. While Colossal originally hoped to reintroduce the woolly mammoth into Siberia, the company may explore other options based on the current political framework of the world.

BBThe dire wolf has been brought back from extinction after 10,000 years 🐺 scientists used a process called de-extinction. See you soon at the dog park friends 😳

ILThe Dodo bird might be making a comeback 🦤🧬
We’ve cloned sheep before, but bringing back a bird is a whole different level of difficulty. Why? Because birds lay eggs, making the genetic engineering process incredibly complex compared to mammals.
But scientists at Colossal Biosciences have cracked the code using specific stem cells, bringing us one step closer to actual de-extinction.
The science is advancing fast, but the real question is: Just because we can bring them back, should we? Or is nature better left alone?
Let me know your verdict in the comments! 👇

HAScientists bring back dire wolves after 12,500 years of extinction.
Colossal Biosciences has produced three dire wolf pups—two males and one female—using gene editing, cloning, and ancient DNA from fossils dated 13,000 to 72,000 years old. By editing 14 genes in gray wolf cells to match dire wolf traits like thick fur, stronger jaws, and broader skulls, scientists recreated the dire wolf phenotype. The embryos were implanted into domestic dogs.
The pups, born in late 2024 and early 2025, now live on a secure 2,000-acre site under strict oversight. While the animals are about 99.9% gray wolf, Colossal claims this is the first real proof of de-extinction in practice and a step toward reviving species like the mammoth and dodo.

THA de-extinction company known for its plans to resurrect the mammoth and Tasmanian tiger has announced it will also bring back the dodo. Colossal Biosciences are the company that are famous for their plans to bring back these animals from extinction.
The Dodo is an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius, which is east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.
Would you want to see the Dodo brought back to life? Let me know in the comments!
