The company has managed to give life to Romulus and rowingtwo six -month puppies that have been created through genetic modifications derived from DNA found in fossils between 11,500 and 72,000 years agoColossal said today in a statement.
The entity, which described this process as the first “desiration” successful, explained that He edited 20 gray wolves genes with this DNA – proceeds to a 13,000 -year tooth and a 72,000 skull – to give the puppies some of the main characteristics of the “terrible” wolves.
Subsequently, they created embryos from the modified cells of the gray wolf and implanted them in dog females that gave light to these animals.
Colossal has also created a female puppy of this animal he has baptized as Khaleesithe name of the protagonist of “Game of Thrones.”
In the HBO series, the Huargo wolf is a large and very strong legendary creature that is also the emblem of the Stark house, to which it belongs Jon Snow.
The creator of the novels that inspired the series, George Rr MartinColossal Cultural Advisor, said that, although many people see these wolves as mythological creatures that only exist in a fantasy world, “They have a rich contribution history to the American ecosystem”.
Beyond ‘Game of Thrones’, the “Terrible” wolves have been characters in role -playing games such as “Dungoons & Dragons and video games like” World of Warcraft “.
In an ‘post’ of X, the company attached a video of the small romulus and rowing puppies.
Romulo, Remo and Khaleesi are being cared for in an ecological reserve certified by the American Human Society that includes interaction areas and is monitored by Sen Direct Chambers, security personnel and drones to guarantee the well -being of the puppies.
The “Huargos” wolves lived in the American continent during the Pleistocene between 3.5 and 2.5 million years ago and extinguished at the end of the last glaciation, about 13,000 years ago.
According to Colossal, these animals were up to 25% larger than the gray wolves and had a light and thick fur – which have recreated in these animals – and stronger jaws.
