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.

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