Colossal Biosciences, a US biotech firm, announced the successful birth of three dire wolf pups – two six-month-old males and a three-month-old female – using cloning and gene-editing techniques. The extinct species was recreated using ancient DNA samples and genetic modification of grey wolf cells. The pups will live in a secure preserve. Colossal also revealed the cloning of four red wolves to boost genetic diversity within the endangered population. This breakthrough marks a significant step in de-extinction technology.
