Scientists Engineer Marsupial Wolf from Fat-Tailed Dunnart

Researchers are working on genetically engineering the fat-tailed Dunnart, a marsupial mouse, into a marsupial wolf similar to the thylacine. The project aims to leverage the genetic similarity between the two species. The fat-tailed Dunnart is a carnivorous marsupial, making it a promising candidate for the transformation.
