>Scientists have announced the world's first de-extinction of an animal species, reintroducing the dire wolf back into the environment.
Colossal Biosciences, a genetic engineering company, birthed three dire wolves, naming them Romulus, Remus and Khaleesi in honor of the legendary creature made famous from the HBO hit series Game of Thrones.
However, the white-coated wolf once roamed North and South America during the Pleistocene epoch before vanishing around 12,000 years ago.
The company extracted DNA from fossilized remains, which was combined with the genetic code of a gray wolf, the closest living relative.
Colossal CEO and co-founder Ben Lamm said in a statement: 'Our team took DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies.'
