What is the dire wolf? Why is it making news in the last couple weeks? Was it revived?

The Dire Wolf

The dire wolf (Aenocyon dirus) is an extinct species of wolf that once roamed North America during the Late Pleistocene era, around 125,000 to 9,500 years ago.

It was one of the largest known wolf species, with adults weighing up to 150 pounds.

Recently, the dire wolf has been making news due to a breakthrough in DNA sequencing and analysis.

While the dire wolf has not been "revived" in the classical sense, scientists have successfully sequenced the dire wolf genome from fossil remains, providing new insights into its evolution, behavior, and extinction.

This achievement has sparked interest in the scientific community and beyond, as it sheds light on the biology and ecology of this fascinating, yet extinct, species.
