OK, a biotech company has genetically engineered a designer wolf that resembles an extinct species and is currently getting a lot of press, probably to the delight of their investors. Would they have gotten so much attention if it wasn’t created to resemble an animal from a popular TV series? 🤔

Drawback of an animal sound ringtone. I recorded our chatty great horned owl’s hoots and saved it as a ringtone (not the simplest task on an iPhone). After going back into our building after feeding I couldn’t figure out why it sounded like he was so close by. Umm yeah, I was getting a call.
