No, the dire wolf isn't back. Extinction is forever. What Colossal Biosciences created are genetically modified wolves of the species Canis lupus. It's sad to see the public unashamedly lied to by so many media.

A Walk on Ilkley Moor: Wind, Rock Art, and a Mild Sense of Betrayal
A walk “On Ilkla Moor”, though not “Baht ’at,” as I had the good sense to wear a buff. The wind was still rather sharp.

Surveying the Past Before the Grouse Take Over
The final day of trudging around Brown Hill, dutifully noting the remains of Bronze Age cairnfields, settlements, and funerary monuments. By Monday, the moor must be left undisturbed so the Grouse can multiply, ensuring there are enough targets for the guns on the Glorious Twelfth.
The weather, as ever, was obl ...

A visit to the Tholos do Barro, outside Torres Vedras, Portugal. There are ~60 tholoi in Portugal, but not (yet!) well studied. This one is in good shape and in a gorgeous location!
