On a serious note, does anyone else get some serious Dunning-Kruger vibes from this? Like serious scientists and experts in the field are very specificly saying that these are not dire wolves. The only people saying they are dire wolves are the owners of the private company that made them. A company with an invested economic interest in people believing them. I’m not an expert geneticist, but I hope you’ll excuse me if I believe the scienctists over the people saying, “you can tell it’s a direwolf by the way that it is!” so that they can make money.
Lol ass-dogs

It’s not Dunning-Kruger because the scientists know they’re lying. It’s just capitalism.
