Khaleesi is growing up fast, full of personality, and even playing in the pool now.
Khaleesi, the pioneering female of the de-extinct dire wolves, is already larger than life. She’s bold, vocal, and endlessly curious, and meets (almost) every challenge with bright eyes and a wagging tail.
In dire wolf Pupdate 003, Khaleesi’s keeper and Colossal’s animal husbandry manager, Paige McNickle, shares the latest on her development and one-of-a-kind personality. You’ll see never-before-seen footage of Khaleesi growing into the “fun, fierce, and female” heart of the pack. Watch her devour favorite meals (she’s a bit of a foodie), tumble in pure puppy bliss, strip bark to toughen her jaws and mimic wild behavior, and pounce on toys with unstoppable energy. Then, witness the moment she discovers the pool. One cautious step turns into two, then a joyful leap as curiosity gives way to full-on splashing delight.
Khaleesi’s journey offers rare insight into how these revived predators grow, adapt, and thrive. What we learn from her is already shaping the future of rewilding.
