Video Shows 1st Dire Wolf Howl in 10,000 Years

A company says it has brought the dire wolf back from extinction and posted videos showing the two animals.

Colossal Biosciences posted a video to its X site showing the dire wolf pups howling. The video had 13 million views in less than 24 hours.

"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," the company wrote along with the video.
