Once roaming from Texas to the Atlantic, red wolves played a crucial role in the Southeast’s ecosystems.

Four American red wolf puppies were born at the St. Louis Zoo Sears Lehmann, Jr. Wildlife Reserve, marking a milestone for the endangered species.

Scientists working for Dallas-based biotech company Colossal Biosciences claim to have brought the dire wolf, which went extinct about 12,500 years ago, back to life.

Biotech company Colossal Biosciences said it has brought back the dire wolf, an animal that went extinct 10,000 years ago, through its de-extinction process.

Housty says their role in the ecosystem is similar to their cultural one. Like the wolves of Yellowstone National Park, sea wolves regulate populations and create space for a diversity of species.

The Red Wolves housed at the Museum in Durham play a vital role in the AZA's Red Wolf Saving Animals from Extinction (SAFE) initiative.

Colossal Biosciences says it used novel gene-editing technology to alter gray wolf DNA to breed the animals. Dire wolves recently featured prominently in the HBO series Game of Thrones.

The project also provides foundational techniques for Colossal's use in cloning endangered species such as the red wolf. How Big Is a Dire Wolf?
