Using CRISPR gene-editing tech, a dash of cloning magic, and ancient DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old skull, Colossal scientists reverse-engineered the iconic predator into existence. Picture a grey wolf, only beefier, frostier, and with a face built for folklore. The result? Three snow-white pups named Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi, the world’s first de-extinct animals.
They’re currently roaming around an undisclosed, 2,000-acre preserve like it’s 12,000 B.C. again. And with adult sizes expected to top out at 150 pounds, these wolves are living proof that going big and going back can pay off.
