They take Yukon wolves and change the DNA to match dire wolves. So they are kinda like an extinct cousin to modern arctic type wolves. Its not as dramatic as a jurassic park scenario because they only went extinct due to having a larger calorie need than their slightly smaller relatives. 10000 years ain't shit compared to 65 million years difference. So if they got out and repopulate it wouldn't cause disastrous chain consequences. They might naturally die out because the lack of steady bison sized meals in Siberia/Yukon.
I think they are doing it with mammoths but the gap between elephant and mammoth is obviously bigger than arctic wolf to dire wolf

How close are they to the species from 10k years ago? Is it the same or almost the same?
I'm not sure. Its an experimental grey area.
If you took a white person zygote and changed hair, skin etc to a black person is that now a black person? Maybe.
So i guess it's a matter of perspective.
