Overview

• On August 12, Colossal Biosciences released footage of six-month-old Khaleesi meeting her near-year-old brothers, Romulus and Remus, in a supervised introduction at its Texas reserve.
• Caretakers report that Khaleesi was completely accepted into the pack as the trio engaged in calm play behaviors including chasing, tail wagging and relaxed ear positions.
• Team members observed that Remus, despite his smaller size, demonstrated emerging leader traits through take-charge play interactions.
• The company plans to engineer two to four additional genome-edited dire wolves from distinct cell lines over the next year to increase genetic diversity rather than allow natural breeding.
• Colossal will deploy audiovisual sensors and AI tools developed with Grizzly Systems and Yellowstone’s Wolf Project to passively monitor individual behavior and pack dynamics.
