A study of extinct dire wolf DNA reveals surprises, including that the carnivores, made famous as fictional pets in Game of Thrones, weren't closely related to wolves. Dire wolves, with reddish ...

The story of bringing dire wolves back from extinction begins not in a laboratory, but in ancient deposits where their ...

Colossal says it extracted dire wolf DNA from two fossils — a roughly 13,000-year-old tooth found in Ohio and a 72,000-year-old inner ear bone discovered in Idaho.

Colossal says it extracted dire wolf DNA from two fossils — a roughly 13,000-year-old tooth found in Ohio and a 72,000-year-old inner ear bone discovered in Idaho.

Colossal scientists extracted ancient DNA from two dire wolf fossils: a tooth from Sheridan Pit, Ohio, about 13,000 years old, and an inner-ear bone from American Falls, Idaho, roughly 72,000 ...

By analyzing ancient DNA from fossils, including a 13,000-year-old tooth found in Ohio and a 72,000-year-old skull found in Idaho, Colossal scientists reconstructed the dire wolf genome to a 91 ...
