Velvet worms are called ‘living fossils’ as their body plan has remained essentially unchanged for millions of years, predating even the dinosaurs.
Re-discovery of a Himalayan velvet worm thought to be extinct for 111 years. Better than nonsensical claims of "de-extinction". #Direwolf

No, Collosal Biosciences did not "De-extinct" the dire wolf, nor did they do something new. Genetically modified species have existed in the past (even one illegal human trial).
