Summary
Questioning whether dire wolves are real? Turns out Ben Lamm of Colossal Labs has a plan to revive them after their extinction, inspired by *Game of Thrones* and Sophie Turner's enthusiasm for mythical creatures. The company, which recently raised $200 million at a $10.2 billion valuation, is also working on bringing back the Tasmanian tiger and dodo as part of its broader efforts to reintroduce extinct animals. Meanwhile, Lamm revealed progress with their dire wolves, who are learning socialization and even "hawking" their 'wolf linguistics' through unique sounds. However, Bringing dinosaurs or dodos back remains off the immediate agenda due to the complexity involved.
