No reason to think they’d fare any better if they were brought back. It’s hard enough keeping the elephant population viable, it costs mega $$$$.
Exactly. Google Wrangel Island. Mammoths survived there until 4,000 years ago, but genetic isolation did them in.
How could dire wolves be reintroduced to the wild? There are no adults. Putting them with ordinary wolves might work, dunno, but then what about the gene pool?
The only reason to continue down this path is to show it can be done. That’s not good enough a reason.
This is all so hypothetical at present. If the technology existed to pull dna from different sources, then you could engineer some genetic diversity…
WSJ article today said the lack of parents to teach behaviors especially hunting skills makes bringing back the true dire wolf impossible.
So the dire wolves will be just for show, amirite. Put them in a zoo. A lot of trouble for what?
The large prey they used to hunt no longer exists either .
Ian Malcolm, everybody!
Not good for me. Deaf people are real easy to sneak up upon, just pointing out facts.Just substitute people
My buddies brother played baseball for USCe . Weis would wear a thong to tan in the stadium .
Wow. That’s all I can say, wow. Jacked? Shades of Indigo Montoya. “I do not think it means what you think it means.” Wow. The degree of delusion, off the f’n charts. What’s next, Abe Gibron posing for Playgirl?Bro mid 80’s most def . I asked him 3 times . Charlie thought he was jacked.
Over / under is 65-70 years old for knowing them. Ernie Ladd was a big big guy, another Big Daddy Liscomb. There weren’t all that many huge huge guys back then so they made an outside impact. Bob Brown.
Only reason I really recall him is from the movie "Brian's Song."
