The dire wolf returns after more than 10,000 years of being extinct.

The company looking to de-extinct the woolly mammoth, has brought back the dire wolf, which has been extinct for 13,000 years.

Colossal Biosciences, the genetic engineering company working to bring back the woolly mammoth, has actually already brought back two of its extinct Ice Age cohabitants: the dire wolf.

Romulus and Remus are genetically engineered modern wolves with around 20 genes edited to successfully mimic dire wolf traits.
