Video: The 7 Steps to Making a Dire Wolf Explained -By Scientists

The dire wolf, a fearsome predator that once roamed North America alongside saber-toothed cats and mammoths, has long been extinct—until now. Once thought lost forever, this extinct species has been given a second chance at life through the pioneering efforts of scientists. In a remarkable feat of genetic engineering, researchers have “resurrected” the dire wolf—or at least a close approximation. Here’s how they did it, step by step, and what this breakthrough means for science and conservation..

What You'll Learn From the Video:

• How Scientists Extracted Ancient DNA
• CRISPR Gene Editing
• Selecting Breeding & cell Cloning
• Challenges faced during the experiment

Watch Dr. Beth Shapiro, breaks down the extremely complex process of making a dire wolf into seven simple steps easy to understand
