A discovery that changes everything about the dire wolf!

The candle flickers.
Long shadows stretch across the room.
My eyes are heavy.
Every fiber of me screams to close them and finally rest, but I can’t.
Not yet.
There’s just… One. More. Thing.
One more note to write, one more measurement to check, and one more thought to complete.
My hand hovers over the page as my mind races through centuries of Ice Age hunts, frozen plains, and pack instincts passed through time.
And then…
BAM!!!
Something reveals itself.
Something no one else has seen yet.
Something Colossal Biosciences didn’t even get the slightest bit right.
A detail so subtle yet profound that it actually shifts the way we understand this legendary creature.
I lean back in my seat as my heart hammers in my chest.
Candlelight trembles across my notes.
For a moment, the world narrows to that single revelation.
And the rest (the world, the night, and even sleep) can wait.
This must be what it feels like to glimpse something truly extraordinary!
And what we’ve uncovered isn’t just about history.
It’s alive in the work we do today.
It’s there in our the pups and this incredible project!
Unlock the mystery that the Ice Age itself almost kept hidden.
