I'm wondering what the direwolf is, or how does is it different

1) Supposedly a Direwolf is not actually a wolf, but just that it was so similar to wolfs we thought they were until recently.

But also

2) Dire wolves and gray wolves shared 99.5% of their DNA, according to the company's news release.


But supposedly it's just a 25% bigger/stronger Grey Wolf that's on steroids... so I guess I don't understand how it's different

so they genetically engineered them... this is promising for doing this with humans.

@Matt85 bragging rights and the money, times change human nature not so much?

@BeauShasta Yes, possible. You can get big grants in science if you're onto something...

@Matt85 Musk is already asking for a miniature woolly mammoth. These will just be toys for the super wealthy. They say it will help fight climate change but that sounds counter intuitive and unrealistic to me. I think Their time be better spent tackling actual real life issues instead of creating more problems that no one asked for.🤷
