Scientists say they have resurrected the dire wolf

I wonder if this technology could be used to resurrect the Moa and the Haast eagle?

I think I heard on RNZ that there were plans to do the Moa...

I saw a post on Lemmy about it yesterday. Also this one:

No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction

Colossal Biosciences claims three pups born recently are dire wolves, but they are actually grey wolves with genetic edits intended to make them resemble the lost species

I'm interested in the return of the Red Wolf.
