For the first time, she meets her brothers, Romulus and Remus, face to face as they begin the careful process of building the trust, confidence, and connection that form the heart of a strong dire wolf pack.Khaleesi starts cautiously, using her wits and the landscape around her as both shelter and strategy. She’s still small enough to slip beneath some fallen logs, giving her the ability to control how and when she engages with the boys.Romulus, the largest of the siblings, greets her with gentle curiosity. Before long, the two are racing through the grass, tails wagging and ears alert. Later, she meets Remus, who proves to be even more tender and easygoing with the new girl in the pack.Then, all three are brought together.

New De-Extinction Announcement: the Legendary Moa of New Zealand Colossal Biosciences 2025-07-08 | Today, we’re proud to announce a new Colossal de-extinction project: the legendary moa of New Zealand.When humans first arrived on New Zealand’s islands, they encountered nine species of flightless birds known as moa. They were truly unique in the avian world as none of them had wings; not even vestigial structures. Within just 150 years, all were gone. But the moa lives on in the cultural memory of New Zealand as a symbol of wonder, loss, and possibility.Now, that possibility moves closer to reality.Longtime moa advocate Sir Peter Jackson joins Colossal in announcing a South Island Māori-led initiative that marks the first steps toward the de-extinction of the moa.In this video, hear directly from Sir Peter Jackson, Colossal advisor and Senior Curator of Natural History Dr. Paul Scofield (Canterbury Museum), Colossal team members, and leaders Mike Davidson and Kyle Davis from Paenga Kupenga. Together, they explore the moa’s remarkable history, the scientific and cultural vision behind its return, and how the tools being developed for this project will support broader conservation efforts for species across New Zealand and beyond.Bringing back a creature with such massive cultural heritage is no small feat. It takes a monumental collaboration grounded in hope, science, and respect.This is more than de-extinction. It is restoration. Hope is taking flight, even if these birds can’t.SUBSCRIBE to follow our innovations: bit.ly/3KqNZAy About Colossal Biosciences: MAKING EXTINCTION A THING OF THE PAST.Colossal is a breakthrough bioscience and genetic engineering company that builds radical new technologies to advance the field of genomics.

Quolls are cute 🫶 Colossal Biosciences 2025-06-10 | Australia’s northern quoll is being pushed to the brink by a deadly dinner guest: the toxic cane toad. Just one bite of this invasive species can be fatal, and northern quoll populations have dropped by nearly 95 percent. In partnership with the University of Melbourne, we’re using gene editing to help the quoll fight back by introducing natural toxin resistance. A change to just two letters of DNA could be enough to save the species. In the struggle for survival, even the smallest genetic shift can make a world of difference.SUBSCRIBE to follow our innovations: bit.ly/3KqNZAy About Colossal Biosciences: MAKING EXTINCTION A THING OF THE PAST.Colossal is a breakthrough bioscience and genetic engineering company that builds radical new technologies to advance the field of genomics.

What You Need to Know About the Red ‘Ghost’ Wolf Colossal Biosciences 2025-05-28 | Nearly 50 years ago, the Red Wolf was declared extinct in the wild. The few that remained were moved into captivity, where a breeding program began. Today, fewer than 20 can be found in the wild, and just 200 remain in managed care. And with so few, the species is trapped in a genetic bottleneck.But wait…along the Texas coast, animals once dismissed as coyotes were discovered to carry rare Red Wolf DNA. This breakthrough sparked a bold new strategy to rescue the species using cutting-edge science.Through genetic sequencing, cloning, and advanced gene editing, we are working to build a more genetically diverse Red Wolf population. These efforts aim to support their conservation without disrupting wild packs, and ultimately, to return strong, healthy Red Wolves to their rightful place in the wild.SUBSCRIBE to follow our innovations: bit.ly/3KqNZAy FOLLOW Colossal to stay ahead of every breakthrough: Instagram: instagram.com/itiscolossal TikTok: tiktok.com/@colossal X: twitter.com/colossal Facebook: facebook.com/itiscolossal LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/itiscolossal About the Colossal Foundation: The Colossal Foundation is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting the use of cutting-edge technologies to conservation efforts globally to help prevent extinction of keystone species.
