Bringing Back the Dire Wolf with Matt James

Description

Bringing Back the Dire Wolf with Matt James

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.
