It was exterminated and it unbalanced the ecosystem in Tasmania.

If we can bring back an animal that functions like the Tasmanian tiger did in the ecosystem, I think that's a big win.

Even if at a purely scientific level, it doesn't have exactly the same DNA as the one that was exterminated.

There is value into what they're doing, I think.

Where are they dealing with it?

It's in the United States.

It's in the United States.

It's a carefully guarded preserve in the United States.

And I think there's good reason is that they want to keep the animals isolated so they can study them.

No one's ever...

brought back an animal like this before.

And I think there's a lot of curiosity about how well they act purely out of their own genetics.

We don't know.

There's so much in terms of animal husbandry of those animals that we simply don't know.

Will they know how to be a dire wolf?

How will they hunt?

Will they hunt like a gray wolf or will they hunt differently than a gray wolf where they're descended from?

We don't know.

And that's why in many respects, it's a great science experiment.

And there's a little joke that Colossal really isn't in the business of producing dire wolves.
