This year there was huge news when scientists at the company called Collosal brought back the dire wolf! Some say these cute, white pups are not really dire wolves, but that didn't stop a huge media buzz. One of the wolves even made the cover of TIME Magazine … with the line "He's a dire wolf. The first to exist in 10,000 years. Endangered species could be changed forever."

So, what exactly is going on here? Who is this company? And, is this a good idea or could it have dire consequences??

This story comes to us from our friends at Vox's Today, Explained.
