Has the Dire Wolf been resurrected from extinction by a Texas biotech firm, or are these just slightly bigger, slightly whiter plain old boring garden-variety wolves? And are DireDoodles next?

Harry S. Mudd and his genetically engineered…er….assistants.
Gene Editing – 2028. Please….OH PUHLEEEEEZEEE!
Thank you, Grok!
The more we learn about gene editing, the more we can treat genetic disorders.
However, it can, and will be abused, given humanities faults. Movie “Gattaca” is a good “thinking” movie about that. Genetically engineered humans for whatever desired.
As said here before “just because we can doesn’t mean we should”.
Scott never watched Game of Thrones?
Lucky, lucky man. They totally botched the ending. It didn’t make sense for the characters.😤
And I really liked it until then.
And part of me wants to take Martin and give him the Misery Movie treatment and hold him captive until he finishes the series.🤔
I’m sorry. No one else is saying it, so I must.
Have these folks learned NOTHING from “Jurassic Park”??!

Species go extinct and it’s been happening for milleniums…ask Darwin. How about bringing back people like our founding fathers and real scientists. I think we need more real thinkers and fewer stinkers. Use the DNA wisely.
The Bee had a great story where Fauci gets a hold of the Dire Wolves and they’re suddenly extinct again.
There are white wolves–check out the artic wolf. While it is a darker shade in the summer since there is little to no snow, they are white in the winter to blend in to the snow.
As Bill said, the dire wolf was probably white so it, too, could blend in to the snow.
Don’t forget the gay frog DNA that was melded in an attempt to neuter them. Unfortunately, this may unexpectedly result in the bloody things asexually reproducing themselves.
Pleased to hear that someone other than myself remembers Colossus, the Forbin Project! Starring Eric Braeden who has spent the most of his career on The Young and the Restless.
I remember Colossus, the Forbin Project too …
“This is the voice of world control”
Eric Braeden was also a regular on Rat Patrol, as Dietrich the German commander who was always getting jammed up by the good guys.
