Dire wolf: Dallas-based scientists bring back extinct species

Dire Wolves roamed the Earth more than 10,000 years ago... But Dallas-based scientists at 'Colossal Biosciences' have rebuilt the DNA of these creatures.

Dallas news, weather, sports and traffic from KDFW FOX 4, serving Dallas-Fort Worth, North Texas and the state of Texas.

Y'all saw what happened in jurassic park right?

Instead of bringing back a wolf species, why not work on saving something useful, like honey bees.

[Scott-sv]

You want to play with nature, she will not play kindly.

Jurassic dog, here we come! But on a serious note, I'd like to see one of these pups.

In 3 years people are going to be walking dogs tall as houses. Dog leash in one hand, "snow" shovel in the other.

[bonitabeach]

WHY ? are you going to bring back the dead next?

[blossomlizard]

So you didn't bring back dire wolves, you just altered the dna of gray wolves to exhibit traits they believe to have been common among dire wolves...

*cap just normal dogs with spliced dna

[CDHpetcare]

So, where will these pups be living? In the zoo? A nature preserve?

It is so concerning and scary when humans play God. May the Lord have mercy on us and bring repentance on those that do not care to seek righteousness. 😮

No, they couldn't bring back the Mexican horse, the Steller's sea cow, the giant beaver, any of the ground sloths, or even the passenger pigeon. They had to bring back a carnivore.

Stupid. What's next, the giant short-faced bear?

[davidlong]

Not true! Genetically, not a dire wolf. It is a gray wolf.

[gtb]

Idiots, you're going to mess around playing God, and create a serious problem.

I know you won't mean to, but it will end up bad - maybe not at first, but as you keep going, doing more and more, it will end badly.

[sureshots]

What we think they may have looked like? Isn't there a book worth of extinct in the last 100yrs animals they could choose from.

[jayknfriends]

I wonder how they will do with children.

[scruffydooferton]

So they didn't actually bring them back.... clickbaited

[Thephantomshitter]

Not a good idea. They went extinct for a reason
