ScreenRantspoke with Ben Lamm about thede-extinction of the dire wolf.
This seemingly struck a chord for Lamm.
But [something] like 99% of them are found only in the US.
We knew their jaws were bigger and stronger.
We knew that they [had] more muscular legs.
These are pretty hardy animals.
Was it going to be blotchy?
Where Are The Dire Wolves Living?
Were even carefully cropping videos and stuff.
“The animals also have avery regimented planfor socialization and other normal activities.
According to Lamm,they are behaving as expected, as wolves.
Whats Next For The Dire Wolf?
In short, said Lamm,Were in talks with all the right people.
Colossal has made four red wolves.
Hows George R.R.
Martin Taking All This?
After that, Jackson was quick to connect Lamm with George R.R.
Youve got to talk to Ben.
Take the Zoom,Jackson said to Martin, according to Lamm.
Im not asking for anything, but I dont want you to [just] read about this online.
Martin wasa little confusedat first at least until Lamm shared his screen.
Then, Lamm said,he took off his glasses, held his head, and started crying.
And he gave me the quote that was in the press release.
Martin has met the dire wolves in person and has even become an investor in Colossal Biosciences.
Isnt This All More Important Than A Game Of Thrones Tie-In?
Even the fact that people like Peter Jackson and George R.R.
Martin have invested in Colossal is a little surprising.
But Colossal knows that the zeitgeist of it all is actually incredibly important for the future of conservation.
So, if we can inspire kids through pop culture, theyre going to get excited about science … ## Whats The Status Of Colossals Other De-Extinction Projects?
At that point, we can start testing those and seeing what we get on the other side.
