Dire wolves were the last of an ancient New World canid lineage
Dire wolves are considered to be one of the most common and widespread large carnivores in Pleistocene America1, yet relatively little is known about their evolution or extinction. Here, to reconstruct the evolutionary history of dire wolves, we sequenced five genomes from sub-fossil remains dating from 13,000 to more than 50,000 years ago. Our results indicate that although they were similar morphologically to the extant grey wolf, dire wol
‘De-extinction’ debate swirls over the dire wolf and wooly mammoth. Here’s how the Toronto Zoo was brought into it
Colossal Biosciences has been quietly approaching zoos and safari parks across North America and Europe, as the company chases its goal of putting baby woolly mammoth calves on the ground as soon as 2028.
The Remus, Romulus and Khaleesi wolves, "created" from the DNA of an extinct species, made the headlines of the American press. According to Colossal Biosciences, this would be "the world's first extinction." A statement questioned Tuesday, April 8, by the scientific community.
The shadow wolf has been extinct for 10,000 years. Colossal Biosciences wants to have genetically awakened him from the dead. Is such a resurrection possible – and makes sense?The wolves are imposing appearances. Zottlig white fur, distinctive fangs, a penetrating look of yellow-green eyes. No beings of the present, but relics of the Pleistocene, created to kill long ago extinct giants. Prehistoric camels, horses and bisons. Huge sloths living o…
