🦤 For the first time in history, our team has grown pigeon primordial germ cells (PGCs) in culture. They are healthy, stable, and dividing every 35 hours. This breakthrough expands avian reproductive technology and lays the foundation for dodo de-extinction. 🎉🧬 (1/7)

Pupdate 004 is here. Queen Khaleesi meets her brothers, Romulus and Remus, for the first time, starting her journey into the dire wolf pack. Gentle sniffs, grass chases, and playful log games mark the beginning of a bond you don’t want to miss. 📺 youtube.com/watch?v=bH-qb50A…

This thylacine specimen has been preserved for over a century at the Swedish Museum of Natural History. It’s one of only five of its kind.

Jurassic Park made de-extinction famous. We’re making it real. “It taps into that same deep human fascination with lost worlds, but with its science fixed firmly on the future health of our planet." Read more in @IBTimes 🔗 ibtimes.com/colossal-bioscie…

🧬 BREAKTHROUGH: We made a major step toward bringing back the Tasmanian tiger. Our scientists have sequenced the entire thylacine genome and created vital stem cells, moving closer to de-extinction. The science is real, and so is the hope. pulsetasmania.com.au/news/br…

“Your mission, should you chew to accept it, is to help save the American Red Wolf.” She may just look adorable, but Neka Kayda is no ordinary pup. She is the first cloned Red ‘Ghost’ Wolf, carrying ancestral Red Wolf DNA once thought lost to time.
