A meteorite weighing more than 2 pounds that crashed through the roof of a New Jersey home two years ago could shed light on ancient water in the solar system. https://t.co/0NcOaMUHvV
The newly described mosasaur Tylosaurus rex spanned up to 43 feet (13 meters) long and may have been one of the fiercest marine predators of the dinosaur age. https://t.co/EiwOuE5FjZ

Ever seen a rat pluck a bat from mid-air and crunch down on it? At multiple study sites in labs and caves, researchers have captured rare footage of rats using different strategies to successfully intercept bats in flight, all in total darkness: https://t.co/pYU8QJSHgy
Meet the guardians of the kelp forest 🐟 The California sheephead wrasse sports a big chin and an even bigger bite. By keeping sea urchin numbers balanced, these wrasse help maintain the health of the waters that so many animals in Channel Islands National Park rely on.

A rare sailback shark, which has an unusually large dorsal fin, was first described by scientists in 1973. That was the last record of its existence – until now. https://t.co/VhhdHx6nD5
Skincare routine? Pure poison 💀 These golden dart frogs, not much larger than a paper clip, ooze potent toxins from their vibrant yellow skin—a defense linked to their insect-rich diet in Colombia’s tropical rainforests.

The colossal squid—one of nature’s most elusive animals, and the world’s most massive squid species—was first identified 100 years ago using remains found in the stomach of a sperm whale. Now, one has been filmed alive in its natural oceanic environment for the first time.
SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024.
The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.
But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us.
