Dire wolves are not back.
Pups created by gene editing grey wolves are not true dire wolves, say canid conservation experts. Recreating the Ice Age sounds exciting, but it won't save what's still wild. #Conservation #Biodiversity #GeneEditing #direwolf

A genetic analysis of more than two dozen Chinese mountain cats concludes that the creature is not its own species, but rather a subspecies of feline that gave rise to several modern wildcats and the domestic cat. #ScienceMagArchives scim.ag/3Gy
