Colossal Biosciences made a surprise announcement Monday, claiming it had brought the dire wolf back from the dead, achieving the biotech company’s first successful de-extinction. But some scientists say that while the wolves’ existence is an impressive feat,

Three genetically engineered wolves that may resemble extinct dire wolves are trotting, sleeping and howling in an undisclosed, secure location in the U.S., according to the company that aims

A company that aims to bring back lost species say they have genetically engineered wolves with white hair and muscular jaws like the extinct dire wolf

A Texas-based genetics company says the long-extinct dire wolf is back. Some critics say that's not quite true.

The dire wolf was one of the most formidable predators in the Americas during the last Ice Age, possessing a body more stout and a skull more robust than those of modern wolves. The species went extinct along with many others as the Ice Age ended.

For the first time, an extinct species, North America's dire wolves, has been revived, by Colossal Biosciences. And George R.R. Martin has held the strapping pups.

The dire wolf, made famous in the hit HBO series "Game of Thrones," has been genetically-engineered by scientists in the U.S. after going extinct around 13,000 years ago.

Elon Musk has joined the frenzy over the adorable dire wolves brought to life by a genetics and biosciences company, but their "de-extinction" has also raised concerns on whether it's a good thing or not to revive a long-extinct species.

Three white puppies were born in the last six months, each through surrogate domestic dogs who had no idea they were carrying an extinct species.
