How to bring the shadow wolves known from Game of Thrones – and why there are doubts
The comparison to Jurassic Park unfortunately lags a little and for this reason calls skeptics: the extinct shadow wolf, who lived in America at the time, was not brought back with the help of cloned DNS, such as the dinosaurs in Michael Crichton Science fiction template. Instead, according to the Tagesschau, one turned General techniques such as Crispr-Cas9 to modify gray wolf cells, which were then held as embryos by dogs. Pure shadow-wolf DNS has long been too outdated and damaged to copy them directly.
Rather, one has to deal with a synthetic species that resembles the 70 kg shadow wolf, but Actually a modified gray wolf is. The two types of wolf are not even of the same genus. In terms of research in terms of research, an exciting development of the start-up, so far, it is generally agreed. It is just not the wild science miracle that some currently want to sell.

Game of Thornes author George RR Martin is entirely out of the dragon house because of the wolves
George RR Martin is one who is happy about the return of the wolves like no other who had become fantasy creatures in the meantime.

Most of my readers will know the story, as I came to mind in the summer of 1991 when I wrote a science fiction novel-the first chapter of Game of Thrones, in which the shadow puppies are found in the summer snow. Where did that come from? Why did it tore me like that? I have no idea. But it grabbed me so much that I put aside the other novel and started writing the song of ice and fire.
