US based bioscience company had revived an extinct species of animal, the dire wolf.

Dire wolves (Aenocyon dirus) were the large canines that dominated the southern Canada and the US before they went extinct about 13,000 years ago.

They had resembled the grey/ gray wolves (Canis lupus) of today, but were larger, with white coats.

The dire wolf specimens accessed from a tooth thought to be about 13,000 years old, and a 72,000-year-old skull.

The new pups are not 100% the same as the now-extinct dire wolves.
