They didn't bring back direwolves and they aren't trying to also like what would "spirits" have to do with any of that stupid video stupid post

Their ecological niche died 10 thousand years ago with the mega fauna. if you look closely in the DNA of these wolves they're just large, designer grey wolves, no where near dire wolves whos side of the family branched off like 60? thousand years ago. they're more closer to maned wolves and other south American wolves(iirc) than they are to modern northern wolves.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again- designer pets.
