The creators of the mammoth resurrection project have a new plan. They want to create future dogs for the military
Ben Lamm and Palmer Luckey are developing genetically engineered dogs for military and rescue operations through their company Warhound, which has secured $200 million in funding. The aim is to create dogs with enhanced traits for tasks like bomb detection and search missions, addressing the limitations of current military dogs. Warhound collaborates with Colossal Biosciences to improve health and performance by editing genes of breeds like Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds. The first military dogs are expected to be cloned soon, with operational deployment anticipated within two years. The project raises ethical questions about genetic engineering in animals.
