Scientists say they have resurrected the dire wolf

The species died out 12,500 years ago, and was made famous by HBO TV series Game of Thrones.

I wonder if this technology could be used to resurrect the Moa and the Haast eagle?

I saw a post on Lemmy about it yesterday. Also this one:

No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction

Colossal Biosciences claims three pups born recently are dire wolves, but they are actually grey wolves with genetic edits intended to make them resemble the lost species
