BREAKTHROUGH: Colossal scientists hatched healthy chicks from artificial eggs.
No shells. No hens. Just bioengineered eggs that breathe like the real thing.
This could help bring back giant extinct birds like the South Island giant moa, whose eggs were ~80x a chicken’s. (1/10)

If you’ve got fan art, you’ve got fans. And clearly, people love the bluebuck. 💙
It’s wild that something gone for over 200 years still has this kind of following. We’re into it. And we recently announced it's our newest de-extinction project.

We work on de-extinction and species preservation. The goal is to make extinction a thing of the past and move the needle on the biodiversity crisis.
Dry, overly academic messaging won’t get people to care, and it definitely won’t get them to act.
That’s why we bring the rizz.

🥚Your egg is leaking.
Oxygen leaks in. Carbon dioxide & water vapor leak out. A thin membrane pulls oxygen into the growing chick through thousands of microscopic pores.
If the leaking stopped, the chick would die.And now we’ve built artificial eggs that can do it too. (1/5)

It goes without saying that dioramas, in all their three-dimensional scenic glory (miniature worlds! artistic expression!), are awesome.
We had plenty of fun making this one: a quirky model for the headquarters of @colossal, commissioned by co-founder and CEO Ben Lamm.

Meet the “Goth King,” aka the sable antelope (Hippotragus niger).
Jet-black, blade-horned, and built to fight back. A close relative of the extinct bluebuck, and easily one of Africa’s most iconic antelopes.
