A capability that is growing exponentially.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">Colossal Biosciences&#8217; biggest project is attempting to bring back the woolly mammoth from extinction. Although the goal of bringing these giant, cold-resistant relatives of elephants back is not to feed the dire wolves, mammoths were the dire wolves&#8217; main food source more than 13,000 years ago. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/earth-space\/dire-wolf-pup-howel-brought-back-extinction\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biotech company Colossal Biosciences has birthed three dire wolf pups, a species that has not walked on Earth for more than 10,000 years.
