Scientists Resurrect the Extinct Dire Wolf After 12,000 Years!

Transcript

00:00It was one of the most feared predators of the Ice Age, a beast with bone-crushing jaws,

00:06extinct for 10,000 years. Until now, the dire wolf is back. The dire wolf once ruled the

00:14ancient plains of North America. Bigger, stronger, more savage than any modern wolf.

00:20It hunted giant bison and even mammoths. But when the Ice Age ended, the dire wolf vanished.

00:27In 2025, science did the impossible. Texas-based Colossal Biosciences brought it back to life.

00:35Using DNA from fossils over 13,000 years old, scientists made 20 genetic edits in a modern

00:42gray wolf and created something the world hasn't seen in 10 millennia. Two pups were born. One of

00:49them is named Khaleesi. At just weeks old, she's already 4 feet long, 80 pounds heavy, and still

00:55growing. They live in a secret 2,000-acre preserve, hidden, watched, fed a diet of raw meat and puppy

01:03chow. But they can't survive in the wild. Not yet. The dire wolf walks the earth again. But should it?
