Some scientists have set their next de-extinction target: the bluebuck antelope, which once roamed South Africa until humans hunted it to extinction around 1800. Colossal Biosciences, the company that claims to have brought back the dire wolf, says the bluebuck could be next. But it raises a question that scientists and ethicists struggle to answer: is this truly resurrection, or simply genetic modification? If humans can reverse extinction, should we? And does the ability of bringing species back someday make us less careful about protecting the ones we still have? CBS News' Riley Callanan breaks it all down.

We’re Colossal Biosciences, the de-extinction company responsible for bringing back the first animals from extinction. Our dire wolf pups, Romulus and Remus, were born on October 1, 2024. Watch these pups grow up on our YouTube channel. Link in bio. These two wolves were returned from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This achievement is the result of years of pioneering science, tireless innovation, and unwavering dedication. It marks a major milestone not only for our company, but for science, conservation, and humanity. With the birth of Romulus and Remus, de-extinction is no longer theory—it’s reality. There’s more work ahead, but this moment redefines what’s possible for the planet’s future.
