Why It Sucks to Be Born As A Dire Wolf

Dire wolves once ruled the Ice Age, but extinction took them out—until now. Using ancient DNA and cutting-edge gene editing, scientists have brought them back... sort of. Meet Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi—the first dire wolves in over 10,000 years. But their return raises big questions: Should we bring back extinct species? Can science fix what nature (and humans) broke? And what does it really mean to be “wild”?

In this video, we explore the incredible story of how dire wolves were de-extincted, why their prehistoric life actually sucked, and what it means for conservation, ethics, and the future of life on Earth. From Ice Age megafauna to modern cloning labs, this is where biology meets sci-fi—except it’s all real.

Are these wolves a breakthrough—or a biological backfire? Watch to find out.
