Not correct to say it's a dire wolf: Expert on claim about species that went extinct
After a biotech company, Colossal Biosciences, said it had brought back to life dire wolves, which went extinct 12,500 years ago, an expert disputed the claim. "It's not correct to say dire wolves have been brought back from extinction. It's a modified gray wolf," said Anders Bergström, a professor who specialises in canines' evolution at the University of East Anglia.
