Didn’t read much on the topic - are these male and female? If they breed, I’m interested to see if motherly instincts kick in. Will the mother know how to nurture and care for a baby wolf since the mother was created in a laboratory?

I'll take 2.

Someone explain to me like I’m 5 why we can’t work towards doing this with dinosaurs?
Dinosaurs are millions of years old and their remains have turned to stone. These animals went extinct relatively recently and have been kept frozen the whole time.

Maybe they will bring them to Louisiana and they can hunt hogs.
At the same time - I have bears on my place and hate the idea of walking up on one of them in the dark. They are scared to death of humans. Really can’t stand the idea of an apex predator, with nothing above them on the food chain, stalking me in the dark.

Majority of dire wolf fossils are discovered in tar pits, not permafrost.

Right now our climate is pretty damn stable compared to history. The climate changed so rapidly in the not so distant past that the world lost the majority of its large mammals.
This occurred millions of years ago but is a dramatic example..there is a fossil layer of tropical jungle under Antarctica.
Ever hear of the 3 year winter? That was a volcanic eruption.
The climate is going to change, it's what it does.

Correct, but the dna was obtained from permafrost specimens.

Dire wolf....

The tar pits are awesome but I find the permafrost specimens way cooler. I recall sometime ago reading about a wolf specimen that still had prey in its stomach.
I follow a Russian guys youtube channel. He goes out to the edges of a permafrost melt and the amount of remains is absolutely mind boggling.
What sucks is that if no one finds them they quickly get eaten or decompose. A lot of the intact examples they have were already being eaten by scavengers.

These aren’t true dire wolves. They’re genetically engineered grey wolves that have the superficial traits of dire wolves.
This is nothing more than a stunt by Colossal to get more investors interested. They said the same thing about bringing woolly mammoths back from extinction.

My father left for cigarettes 25 years ago. If scientists want to impress me, they'll bring him back.

It’s a bullshite article and so many news media companies/people have fallen for it. Anyone with two brain cells should be able to look at this and know it’s a false marketing stunt to get investors interested.
The fact of the matter is that reviving the dire wolf is impossible. The common ancestor in which the dire wolf and grey wolf shared split off over a million years ago.

Of course it's impossible. But this is about as close as you can get to an actual dire wolf, which is pretty cool and amazing what they were able to do. Essentially creating a "cousin" to an extinct species.

When I can I hunt a dire wolf. Saving a spot on the wall.

I laughed then I teared up a bit.
Sorry for your loss.

God the Creator (and yes, only about 5-6 thousand years ago.)
Noah's Great Flood completely covered the world and took centuries for the primary seas and continents to finally stabilize.
This massive cataclysm also included dramatic upheavals, undersea earthquakes and release of volcanoes and their ash thrust into the atmosphere for decades. This process resulted in the re-calibration of the Sun's sunlight and path around the earth, and re-calibration of the brand new seas, oceans, currents, land masses and freezing conditions / areas.
