Scientists Revive Dire Wolves Using Ancient DNA and Modern Gene Editing
In a landmark scientific achievement, three dire wolf pups have been born using reconstructed DNA from fossils, marking the species’ return after being extinct for over 12,000 years. Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences led the project, using gene editing to implant dire wolf traits into grey wolf embryos, which were then carried by domestic dog sur...

Perfectly Preserved Dinosaur Embryo Found Inside Fossilised Egg in Rare Discovery
Paleontologists have found a never-seen-before fossil of a complete baby dinosaur curled up inside its egg. The fossil showed the remarkable similarities between theropod dinosaurs and the birds they would evolve into, according to a new study.

80 Million-Year-Old Fossil Embryo "Small Giant" Packs Surprises About Big Dinosaur
The skull of a dinosaur embryo from Argentina is providing surprising details about baby facial features present in one species from an important dinosaur group called titanosaurs that included the largest land animals that have ever lived on Earth.

Forget Eggs - 245 Million Years Ago, This Long-Necked Sea Creature Gave Birth To Live Babies
A quarter of a billion years ago, when a shallow sea covered what is now southwest China, a large, long-necked aquatic reptile got pregnant. That is an unusual fact by modern standards - many reptiles, such as birds, turtles and crocodiles, do not get pregnant, which is to say they do not incubate embryos within their bodies and give birth to live ...

Dinosaurs Took Months To Hatch Out Of Their Eggs. That May Have Doomed Them.
Close examination of embryos found fossilized inside their eggs suggests that dinosaurs took as many as six months to hatch - far longer than their closest modern descendants, today's birds.
