Weird & Interesting science, take 2

And as a PR stunt, I can almost understand it. The company is also supposedly working on reviving species like the Tasmanian Tiger, which frankly makes more sense than pretending a few tweaked wolves are now a species that went extinct over 13,000 years ago and were actually more closely related to African jackals. Trying for funding by claiming they made progress on Dire Wolves would make sense. But they got too greedy.

Also, there are no plans to breed them. Which raises my suspicions even more.
