FFS it's NOT a real dire wolf.


It's so annoying to see it presented as that.


10k year old direwolf DNA is crumbly bits at this point...so they've used a CRISPER-CAS9 to present a decent model to fill-in the gaps, and create an embryo and implanted it into a normal wolf mother to bring to term. It is a best guess direwolf from crumbly bits of DNA still around 10k years later, and an algorithm guessing at the rest.


Make no mistake, it's a wonder of science...but it's not a fucking extinct animal brought back to life. It's not like direwolf DNA was hanging out mostly complete inside amber like in JP...the way it's being presented in the media enrages me.

Sorry, but I got a reclining, sexy man with an open shirt and a penchant for upsetting billionaires who says that life, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, finds a way.
