Time magazine cover showing Remus, a genetically modified grey wolf claimed to be a "dire wolf." The headline reads: "This is Remus. He's a dire wolf. The first to exist in over 10,000 years. Endangered species could be changed forever."
Public service announcement: this is *not* a dire wolf.
It is a genetically modified grey wolf made to resemble an extinct species, so a bullshit company can raise more money for their bullshit projects.
