Khaleesi Joins the Pack: First Meeting of Colossal’s Dire Wolves

In a landmark moment for conservation and biotechnology, Colossal Biosciences has united its three living dire wolves—Khaleesi, Romulus, and Remus—for the very first time. Born through advanced genetic engineering, these pups embody the strength, intelligence, and striking physical traits of the Ice Age apex predator once thought lost to history. After spending their early months apart for health monitoring and individual development, Khaleesi was released into the shared habitat with her brothers inside Colossal’s expansive 2,000-acre wildlife preserve. Their first meeting was marked by instant connection, playful chases, curious sniffing, and the early formation of pack bonds. This integration marks a major milestone in Colossal’s mission to restore the dire wolf to the modern world, offering a glimpse into the future of species revival and the powerful role these legendary animals may one day play in their ecosystems.
