A company that aims to bring back lost species say they have genetically engineered wolves with white hair and muscular jaws like the extinct dire wolf. Colossal Biosciences said Monday the wolf pups range in age from three to six months old and have long white hair and muscular jaws. Dire wolves are much larger than gray wolves, their closest living relatives today. Independent scientists said this latest effort doesn’t mean dire wolves are coming back to North American grasslands. Colossal has previously announced similar projects to genetically alter cells from living species to create animals resembling extinct woolly mammoths, dodos and others.
