“'Game of Thrones' wolves brought back from extinction by Texas-based 
company”
    https://www.chron.com/news/article/dire-wolves-extinction-20263650.php

“This marks the first successful de-extincted animal.”

“A long-extinct species, the dire wolf, is being brought back to life 
through the efforts of a Texas-based genetics company.”

“Dallas-based company Colossal Biosciences announced the successful 
birth of three dire wolf pups, an animal widely known from the popular 
television show “Game of Thrones.””

“The team members utilized DNA from the ancient fossils and performed 
gene edits in order to reconstruct a dire wolf genome. From there, 
scientists conducted an embryo transfer and used interspecies surrogacy 
to birth the wolves. ”

""Our team took DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old 
skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies," Ben Lamm, the CEO of Colossal 
said.  It was once said, 'any sufficiently advanced technology is 
indistinguishable from magic.' Today, our team gets to unveil some of 
the magic they are working on and its broader impact on conservation.""

Oh crap !  Here we go…
