Dire Wolves, Cloning & The Ghost Wolves of Galveston Island
Episode 13
Thursday, 14 May, 2026
A dire wolf has been brought back through modern genetic science — and I sat down with Matt James of Colossal Bioscience to learn more. In this in-depth interview, we discuss dire wolf cloning, de-extinction science, CRISPR gene editing, ancient DNA recovery, conservation biotechnology, and what this breakthrough could mean for endangered species, ecosystem restoration, and the future of wildlife management. Is this true de-extinction? And how does this tie in to the "ghost wolves" of Galveston Island, Texas? Could extinct animals like the woolly mammoth or saber-toothed cat be next? What are the ethical concerns around cloning predators? And how does this impact ongoing wolf conservation efforts in North America?
