Neato. I guess. But...as stated in Jurassic Park, these animals are not extinct because of deforestation or some human cause...nature CHOSE them for extinction...I dunno. This does not seem like a good idea...

I'm always amazed by the advances of science... but de-extincting animals that were removed by nature seems like a REALLY bad idea... If this is a practice that continues, said creatures need to remain in captivity for research purposes only. Dire Wolves or Wooly Mammoths being introduced into an ecosystem can have SEVERE repercussions.

Not to be a wet blanket, but my understanding is this is a grey wolf with 14 specific genes tweaked to match dire wolf DNA. It's unclear how close these guys are to an actual dire wolf.

They probably did become extinct due to human actions, though. The prey that they relied on started to go extinct and part of that is likely due to humans hunting the same things.

How long before the first Jurassic Park opens?
Also this seems like the first step in what will eventually be seeding another planet. |
