The Spanish translation of "Did scientists bring back dire wolves?" is ¿Los científicos revivieron a los lobos gigantes?. This phrase accurately conveys that scientists used gene editing and ancient DNA to create a hybrid animal that resembles the extinct dire wolf, a process known as de-extinction. Explanation ¿Los científicos...? ("Did scientists...?") is the Spanish equivalent of "Did scientists...?". revivieron: (from revivir) means to revive or bring back to life. a los lobos gigantes: (dire wolves) is the Spanish phrase for the extinct dire wolf. Background Scientists at Colossal Biosciences, using gene-editing technology, altered the genes of the gray wolf to resemble its extinct ancestor, the dire wolf. They used ancient DNA from dire wolf fossils to guide the process, creating hybrid pups that share some traits with the original species. While this achievement is a significant step, the resulting animals are not genetically identical to the extinct dire wolves but are rather a modern proxy.
