BREAKTHROUGH: Colossal scientists hatched healthy chicks from artificial eggs. No shells. No hens. Just bioengineered eggs that breathe like the real thing. This could help bring back giant extinct birds like the South Island giant moa, whose eggs were ~80x a chicken’s. (1/10)

In 1996, a team of scientists at the Roslin Institute in Scotland made a breakthrough that captured the world’s attention. In 2025, Colossal acquired @ViaGenPets_ , which was built on an exclusive license to the Roslin Institute’s cloning technology. Learn more about one of the most important scientific accomplishments in history.

Humans have been driving extinctions for tens of thousands of years. Today, the rate is at least 100 times faster than before humans. If this continues, we could lose a large share of life on Earth. This is a global crisis we can't ignore.

The woolly mice are scientifically engineered to be adorable. Well… not exactly. The genes we edited were linked to cold-adapted traits found in woolly mammoths, things like longer hair and increased fat storage. Turns out it's a pretty strong aesthetic. (1/2)

😈 A contagious cancer is devastating Tasmanian devils. We’re partnering with Dr. Andrew Flies and @UTAS_ to fight back with edible vaccine “meat nuggets” and next-generation genetics. This is just the beginning. (1/10)

Habitats are changing faster than evolution can keep up. @colossal @bonesandbugs is editing a single strand of DNA so endangered quolls can survive the toxic cane toad. Extinction is looking less permanent than we thought. #LNIF26 #Conservation
