The dire wolf has been brought back from extinction after more than 10,000 years, a U.S. biotech start-up has announced.
On Monday, Colossal Biosciences, based in Texas, said its researchers had successfully facilitated the birth of three modern dire wolf pups – two six-month-old males named Romulus and Remus and a three-month-old female named Khaleesi. The extinct species was recently made famous on the TV series Game of Thrones.
