Colossal Biosciences has revived the extinct dire wolf using genetic engineering, sparking debates on de-extinction's ethical implications. Could the woolly mammoth be next in line for resurrection?

That there are obstacles — including, in the case of woolly mammoths, a nearly two-year gestation period in a surrogate elephant — doesn’t mean we should credit the opponents of the project.

Colossal Biosciences just engineered woolly-haired mice in a step toward reviving extinct animals like the woolly mammoth—here's what it means.

That idea is especially relevant to Colossal's next aim: to genetically edit the Asian elephant to make it look and behave like a woolly mammoth.
