🎉 Happy 1st Birthday, Neka Kayda! 🎉 The world’s first cloned Red “Ghost” Wolf 👻🐺 is more than a birthday pup. She carries lost DNA that could help save her species. Only 270 Red Wolves remain in managed care… and she’s the comeback story we all need. 🐾💫

We couldn't be more excited about Colossal Australia and our new Chief Biology Officer, Dr. Andrew Pask.
Melbourne will become a world animal de-extinction capital, with news the Hemsworth brothers’ backed $15.96bn Colossal — that radically brought the dire wolf back from the dead after 13,000 years — will now be based in the city > https://t.co/zOX4ZQcTPB

Today’s #MammothMonday is a celebration of a very recently unearthed mammoth calf’s tooth for the Hills Quarry Products Cerney Wick site by the #tuskforce team last week. It’s beautiful but it also looks like a mammoth calf! Sally Hollingworth
