George R.R. Martin was among the first to meet a trio of wolf pups that are said to be the “world’s first successfully de-extincted animal.”
On Monday, a group of scientists at Colossal Biosciences announced that after years of working to de-extinct animals, they had finally genetically engineered three wolves containing the DNA of the extinct dire wolf, a species made popular by HBO’s Game of Thrones, based on the works of Martin.
