Scientists genetically engineer wolves with white hair and muscular jaws like the extinct dire wolf
- Three genetically engineered wolf pups resembling extinct dire wolves are currently kept in an undisclosed secure location in the U.S., as reported by Colossal Biosciences.
- Colossal Biosciences claims these pups are the world's first successfully de-extincted animals, according to CEO Ben Lamm.
- The wolves are reported to weigh around 80 pounds and are expected to reach 140 pounds as adults.
- Independent scientists warn that while the wolves may look like dire wolves, they lack the ecological knowledge necessary for survival today, as stated by biologist Vincent Lynch.
