Now, I am strongly conflicted on the recently created 'Direwolves' by Collossal. On one hand, technology like this COULD be theoreticially used to help current species which are going extinct or recently extinct species by perhaps increasing the avaiability of their genetic pool. HOWEVER, the creation of these 'Direwolves' proves that we need to be incredibly careful with this technology.

These animals are neither direwolves, if anything they are their own species or a genitically modified form of a greywolf. They do not actually have that many things in common with actual direwolves either, from what i could tell (they look more like a game of thrones/media version of one).

I usually try to stay out of debates like this, but as a person who grew up loving extinct animals, this pains me to see. These animals have no current niche in the modern ecosystem neither do they resemble an actual Aenocyon Dirus from what I can tell. I encourage everyone to look up peer reviewed studies about these animals and if you want to know more about what Collossal actually created, a lot of people have made great videos about the topic.
