A U.S. biotech company has successfully produced three genetically engineered wolves that resemble the long-extinct dire wolf. The firm behind the effort, Colossal Biosciences, confirmed that the animals were created through genome editing and cloning based on ancient DNA. The wolves, named Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi, currently live at a private 2,000-acre preserve at an undisclosed location in the northern United States.
