    They're not dire wolves, they are genetically modified
    grey wolves.

    Maybe you will like the Woolly Mammoth that they are working on now better.

    The woolly mammoth was hunted to extinction by men. It must have tasted really good or they wouldn't have caught them all. I'm all for bringing
    it back if it is good to eat.

    It probably wasn't just because of the taste. Archeological sites
    indicate that every part of the mammoth was used. Pelts for housing and clothes, ivory and bone for various tools and art, sinew for thread,
    etc. etc.
