The Dire Wolf Is Back from Extinction. For Real. 
The same massive creatures that inspired the Stark family’s loyal companions in ‘Game of Thrones’ have officially been brought back to life—no fantasy required.
A biotech company in Texas has successfully revived real dire wolves, using DNA from fossils over 13,000 years old. The result? Three living pups named Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi. They were born via domestic dog surrogates and are now being raised in a secure preserve.
Dire wolves once roamed North America during the Ice Age. Now they’re back—with a little help from science.
