Colossal is claiming that three genetically modified grey wolf pups – two males called Remus and Romulus born in October, and a female called Khaleesi born in January – are in fact dire wolves.

Those names say so much about the company culture already.

Another company run by a Musk or Ajit Pai clone I’m sure with some manicured “quirk” to seem out of pocket.

They couldn't even be bothered to pick a name of an actual Dire Wolf from GoT either. Fucking tourists.

And if you know your Roman history .... Romulus murders his brother Remus .... which is why we call it Rome and not Rems or Rem-Rome

I recognize Khaleesi from game of thrones the other 2 I am going to assume is a reference as well. I have not ever watched game of thrones because the fandom always made me cringe so I can't confirm.

I feel it's safe for me to assume this is more of the same cringelord bullshit.

like when some cringelord claimed a juvenile of an already existing dinosaur species (Pachycephalosaurus) was something completely different and named it an equally cringey "draco rex hogwartsia".
