Very little


It’s 99.99% grey wolf. I think I read out of the 30k unique sequences to differentiate the dire from the grey , it has I think 12.

I read somewhere that grey wolves and dire wolves share 99.5% of their DNA. Humans share about 98.8% with chimps and 40%-50% with bananas.

We shouldn't be playing around with stuff like this. Just look where we are today because some fool said, "let's see if we can increase the liberal genes in humans."

I just watched a video, and these are legit. The more DNA sources they get the better the specimen they will have. Very cool.

Think "gain of function".

So are they protected or can I get a tag OTC?

Wonder what wooly mammoth is going to taste like?

I have long ago predicted humans will eventually figure out how to make life from the primordial soup, and then claim "there is no God after all, look we just proved it"

the problem with that statement is they were given blueprints and material and they are simply replicating what God did from scratch. But plenty of "science" folks will fall for it and it may beacon the beginning of the next large-scale idol for people to worship over the one true God.

If you want to play God and bring back extinct species, why not the Irish Elk?

There’s more extinct species than there are species living today.
It happens for a reason.

Have you not seen the Gieco commercials? They already have.

Redchevy, I bet you can get a discount if you use a spear.

The Most Dangerous Game, indeed.

Bring it back

Do it!

East FW and Dallas are full of them already.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should....

I saw that movie.

Good point. No such thing as a pure gray wolf. They have a ton of coyote, domestic dog, etc in them.

You still have the Arctic circle where yotes haven’t made it yet

They really should try a TRex.

If you look into it these are basically grey wolves that they have just genetically modified to be more like dire wolves.

How bout making some smart liberals; they’re going extinct. (That’s awful)

I think the Border Patrol could use some dire wolves.

As I understand it, not even those have genes that are exclusively gray wolf. That's why I argue that the red wolf isn't anything more than a hybrid. There aren't any distinct "red wolf" genes that distinguish them from the grays or the coyotes.

I don’t think we should be improving the numbers of any wolves. There’s good reason people tried to exterminate them.

I also understand why it’s not a great idea to bring back wooly mammoths, but I can’t help but think how amazing it would be to see animals like that in person. Sorry, but I want to see that.
