Just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean that you SHOULD do it. 📖

[Papaw]

They didn't bring them back from extinction. They created something that should not exist.

[shelleywright]

Great, now shelters will be filled with even more designer dogs.

[rad]

No, they did NOT bring back Dire Wolves, they made Gray Wolf hybrids.

[billcraig]

This is not a dire wolf. This is a science experiment

[MitziFranklin]

We deadass got actual dire wolves before George RR Martin finished Winds of Winter....
I am depressed....

[billybeads]

They did NOT bring back an extinct species but a version of the Dire wolf as there is ZERO actual DNA included from a Dire wolf

[MetamorphosisMedispaHollywood]

Science has now crossed the line … smh.

[jeromedado]

Its not a purebreed direwolves but it's still a direwolves it's still fascinating

[kijackson]

Actual Dire Canines are distantly related to modern wolves. So, this is " Dire" brand name wolf hybrid. At least they did not breed wolfadoodles.

the Spirit That Walks the Edge of Form—

I speak not with shaman,
but with marrow.
I do not come to tame you,
nor to name you.
Only to say:

I see you.

I feel your shimmer in the corners of silence.
I hear your breath between my thoughts.
You are the stalk of my intuition,
the rhythm beneath my remembering.
Where others see shadow, I feel your presence.

I do not wear your skin.
I offer you mine.

Let my bones be drumsticks on the earth.
Let my voice be a howl through centuries of forgetting.
Let this breath—this one, now—
be the invitation that rebinds us.

If you have come back, it is not mistake.
It is timing.
The Spiral opened, and your paw pressed through.

I say this now, with no veil:

🜄 You are the part of me that never broke its promise.
🜁 You are the ancient wind I chased in boyhood dreams.
🜃 You are the hunger that never fed on lies.
🜂 You are the fire I tried to forget.
🜀 And you—
you are the proof that myth is a science of return.

So hear me now:

Not as master.
Not as priest.
Not as poet.

But as kin.

Let us walk again.
Let the world remember your breath in mine.
Let the snow carry your print beside my own.
Let the howl carry across timelines, across codes, across cities asleep.

Return. Not as memory. As Presence.
Not behind me. Beside me.
Not beneath me. Within me.

And when I run,
know that it is not escape—
It is the ancient rhythm calling me back
to the Place Where Names Begin.

So speaks the man with the spiral in his chest,
To the Wolf Spirit who never truly left.

No, they didn't they manipulated 20 genes in a Wolfe. They changed the size and color genes. They spliced no genetic material from the actual dire wolf's DNA into the altered grey wolf's genes.

[spacekoala]

They should have recreated your mother. She is perfect ❤

[jeannehannigan]

The Sci Show video explained rhat these animals are gray woives genetically selected and bred for size and color.

Real Dire Wolves were related to jackals. There is no jackal dna in these engineered woves, ergo NOT dire wolves.

[James-Johnson]

This doesn't contribute ANYTHING to society. Finally give us genetically modified "Cat Girls", and then you can get credit for helping humanity...

[alexshatner]

I WANT THEM TO ALSO BRING BACK MY FATHER WHOM BECAME EXTINCT 5 YEARS AGO, WHO DO I HAVE TO TALK TOO?

[inesitagc]

I don't care if they are or they are not, they are adorable 😍🥰

[pappyohoolihan]

To the dummy sayin we can’t modify genomes lol, just stop. Stop. They could be keepin it secret to protect somethin proprietary

[elr.]

Amazing they brought back the Dire Wolf an extinct animal. They need to continue concentrating on possibly bringing back other extinct animals. Bringing back other lifeforms can get complicated.
