What if I told you that in the heart of the U.S., three fluffy little creatures with aspirations for grandeur are turning heads and raising eyebrows? Yep, we’re talking about genetically engineered wolf pups, possibly the closest thing we have to dire wolves—those colossal canine legends that roamed the earth over 10,000 years ago! As we dive into their story, maybe it’s time to ponder—what would the stars say about these modern-day marvels? Astrologically speaking, aren’t we all just trying to resurrect a piece of our past, especially under the transformative energy of Pluto? As these pint-sized wolves, with their long white fur and hefty build, start making noise, it’s not just about biology — it’s about the wild possibility of defying extinction itself. Intrigued? There’s so much more to uncover about these fascinating creatures. LEARN MORE.
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 to bring back lost species.
The wolf pups, which range in age from three to six months old, have long white hair, muscular jaws and already weigh in at around 80 pounds — on track to reach 140 pounds at maturity, researchers at Colossal Biosciences reported Monday.
Dire wolves, which went extinct more than 10,000 years old, are much larger than gray wolves, their closest living relatives today.
