"De-Extinction Breakthrough or Genetic Grey Hype"
Dire wolves may soon roam free, But experts say they're just modified wolves, genetically.
On Time Magazine's cover, a sight to see,
A snow-white wolf, a wonder to me,
Dire wolf's return, the headlines proclaim,

Colossal Biosciences, the team behind the feat,
Used genetic engineering and ancient DNA to beat,
Three dire wolf puppies, Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi too,
But experts say they're not dire wolves, just genetically modified grey wolves anew.

Zoologist Philip Seddon, a voice of reason and might,
Explained the differences, in the dark of night,
Important biological differences, between the past and present day,
A dire wolf's return, but not in the same way.

Colossal's efforts, to bring back extinct animals with pride,
The woolly mammoth and Tasmanian tiger, side by side,
But experts point out, the limitations of ancient DNA's might,
Too degraded and damaged, to bring back the light.
