Biologist Just Found Out What Dire Wolves Actually Are

In 2025, a company announced it had brought the dire wolf back from extinction. Three white pups named Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi now live on a secret preserve, and they look exactly like the Ice Age predator we've only known from fossils. But biologists have spent years arguing over what a dire wolf actually was. First it was a wolf. Then DNA said it wasn't a wolf at all. Now a new peer-reviewed study has revealed an answer neither side expected, and it changes what those three animals really are. Do you think Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi should be called dire wolves?
