Twelve thousand years ago, dire wolves ruled the Ice Age wilderness of North America—until mysteriously vanishing forever. Now, scientists at Colossal Biosciences have used ancient DNA and cutting-edge biotechnology to bring them back. Join Matt James, Colossal’s Chief Animal Officer, to discover how his team revived the dire wolf, and are now working to “de-extinct” other lost species like the woolly mammoth, Tasmanian tiger, and dodo. Learn how these same technologies are being used to protect endangered animals, restore ecosystems, and inspire a new generation of conservation science.
