Animal Watch

Welcome to Remus, Romulus and Khaleesi. Three beautiful modern day Direwolves created with @colossal The three beautiful white wolves were created by genetically editing gray wolf dna to change the most important features to match those found in ancient Direwolf DNA. It is now thought that all Direwolves were white as the dna came from two separate regions, thousands of years apart and show a white colour in the DNA. Another amazing result is that the puppies are growing a long mane which wasn’t anticipated. They are huge at 5 months, already the size of a mid sized gray wolf adult. Their head and jaw is larger and thicker as are their legs. They are babies still so we won’t be able to see how beautiful they are until they grow up. All wolf puppies are a bit gorky with long ears at an early age. This paves the way for conservation efforts to help save some of the world’s most threatened species. I will be doing a YouTube episode this Friday which will COVER EVERYTHING.

How large was the Dire Wolf compared to our modern day Grey Wolf? How large will the new Dire Wolves be? Part 1 I discuss the size of our ancient extinct Dire Wolf. #direwolf #direwolves #colossalbiosciences #DeExtinction #wolf #wolves #greywolf #graywolf

In the midst of all the Dire Wolf excitement, Ocean @My Blue Wolf and I compiled an edit of our favourite fantasy Game of Thrones Direwolf clips 🐺💙 #direwolf #direwolves #wolf #wolves #wolfdog #gameofthrones #vikingwolf #fenrir

The Direwolf is BACK! You heard it here! SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024. The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state. But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us. @colossal #direwolf

OMG it happened! The Direwolf is back. Two beautiful and healthy white Direwolves called Reamus and Romulus were born in October 2024 after being De-Extincted by @colossal who are the most exciting company on the forefront of conservation and the restoration of animals that us humans have destroyed. The two boys are currently living at a secret location in a huge and wild 20 acre enclosure in North America under the supervision of vets and staff. They are growing at a huge rate and have wonderful howls just like the grey wolf. We will learn so much about this species as well as now have groundbreaking science to restore critically endangered wildlife populations such as the Red Wolf and The Northern White Rhino as well as be able to edit out hereditary diseases that are killing huge swathes of animal populations.

With the Norwegian Wolf Pack in the Arctic Circle. Norways Wolves are seriously endangered and both Norway and Sweden heavily manage the wolves that share a border with both countries. My dream would be that these wolves were allowed to expand up into the wild north of these countries. There is so much wilderness for them there.. . . . #wolf #wolves #norway #scandinavia #wolfhowl #wolveshowling #wolfgirl

Meet Remus & Romulus: The new Direwolves created by @colossal Relying on deft genetic engineering and ancient, preserved DNA, Colossal scientists deciphered the dire wolf genome, rewrote the genetic code of the common gray wolf to match it, and, using domestic dogs as surrogate mothers, brought Romulus, Remus, and their sister, 2-month-old Khaleesi, into the world during three separate births last fall and this winter—effectively for the first time de-extincting a line of beasts whose live gene pool long ago vanished. TIME met the males (Khaleesi was not present due to her young age) at a fenced field in a U.S. wildlife facility on March 24, on the condition that their location remain a secret to protect the animals from prying eyes. #direwolf #direwolves #colossalbiosciences #DeExtinction #wolf #wolves
