Scientists perform world’s first de-extinction to revive the dire wolf
In a groundbreaking breakthrough, scientists have successfully performed the world’s first de-extinction, bringing back the extinct dire wolf species. This remarkable achievement marks a significant milestone in the field of conservation and genetic engineering.
The dire wolf (Canis dirus) was a massive canine that once roamed North America during the late Pleistocene era. It is estimated that this species went extinct around 9,500 years ago due to climate change, loss of prey populations, and human persecution.
This incredible achievement was made possible by using cutting-edge genetic editing technology, known as CRISPR-Cas9, to edit the DNA of a gray wolf (Canis lupus) to recreate the genetic makeup of the dire wolf.
