That species is part of what's called the Tonga or their sacred species.

And so we would never even think to go work on that species without getting their support and blessing because that was their land.

Their people over time eradicated that species.

So is this something they even want to do?

And so we think about that.

But then we also like with the dire wolves, we also think about like while we had indigenous support here in the US because the dire wolves was predominantly US-based species,

We also think about, like, what are the applications to kids, right?

And so it's like, most people thought direwolves were mythical creatures because they saw Game of Thrones or played, you know, Dungeons and Dragons or, you know, Magic the Gathering.

Right.

But in the reality, they're also like, wow, and they're into a bunch of other things, right?

But, like, ultimately...

And if you can bridge science and pop culture, then I think that's a good thing, right?

It's like if we can get people interested in this.

And so one of my buddies, Jesse Michaels, I don't know if you know.

Yeah.

So he's an awesome guy, super smart entrepreneur, tech guy.

He's got a YouTube and a podcast now.

And he's working on these tridactyls.

Have you gone in these Peruvian mummies?

You've got to go down this rabbit route.
