Dire wolf pups revived from extinction (Video)

The dire wolf — a species that disappeared 13,000 years in the past and was made well-known by the beloved HBO sequence “Sport of Thrones” — is making a comeback, because of the first-ever so-called “de-extinction.”

Three dire wolf pups — aptly named Romulus, Remus and Khaleesi — have been efficiently born utilizing DNA from historical dire wolf fossils and genes from their closest dwelling relative, the grey wolf.
