The sixth mass extinction is happening. In 2025, the Colossal Foundation chose action, launching real projects, new partnerships, and de-extinction science in the field. See why hope is real. Download the 2025 Impact Report: colossalfoundation.org/project/2025-i…

"All together, these efforts suggest that what Colossal has built is less a single company than an entirely new model for how deep science can generate both transformative discoveries and durable commercial value at the same time." inc.com/connormccrory/…

@Compy94957357 If you did a little research before posting you'd learn that conservation is a HUGE part of what we do and we're actively working with partners to save the vaqutia and Northern white rhino. Visit colossalfoundation.org to learn more.

They keep ""bringing back to extinction animals"" (On BIG quotes) instead of at least EVEN TRYING to do conservation efforts for animals that are in the brink of extinction like the Vaquita and the Northern White Rhinoceros. Genuinely, fuck Colossal Biosciences.

@VaidikaAvaidika @bitguides Not for long

@bitguides @colossal Blue Buck is stuck

Blue is super rare in nature. Fewer than 1 in 10 plants have blue flowers. It’s even rarer in animals. Most “blue” isn’t pigment, it’s physics. Tiny structures bend & scatter light so only blue reaches your eyes. It’s really an illusion, and that’s what makes it special. (1/8)

Colossal Biosciences CEO Ben Lamm estimates it will take a few years for the world to welcome its first bluebuck since 1800. bizjournals.com/dallas/news/20…

Company that Brought Back Dire Wolves Unveils Plans to De-Extinct Blue Antelope Species (Exclusive) people.com/colossal-biosc…

@deantak Believe it!

Still hard to believe this kind of thing is happening. De-extinction. gamesbeat.com/colossal-biosc…

@ManojKu69747922 Agreed, that's why it's time to bring them back!

@colossal The bluebuck really was one of a kind. It's a shame it faded from existence.

Most people don’t even know a blue antelope existed. Out of nearly 100 species, nothing matched the bluebuck. Silvery, slate-blue coat, distinct markings, smaller build. Even beside roan and sable, it stood alone. 💙 Let’s bring back the blue.

@DavidShapiro98 Great question! We are working with collaborators to establish a sustainable rewilding plan. No one will be allowed to hunt them

@colossal What stops hunters from killing this off once it’s reintroduced?

@xblazesyrglory that's the plan 🦣

@colossal go big guys bring back woolly mammouth

We’re bringing the bluebuck back from extinction. A literal blue, furry grazer with royal-level horns. Humans wiped it out 200 years ago. Now genomics + IVF will help us bring it back. And the tech build along the way could boost antelope conservation across Africa.

@rach262003 The goal is to restore their silvery slate-blue coat, stay tuned!

@colossal it’ll be interesting to watch the gene expression to see what color they actually turn out to be bc weren’t the that silvery greyish blue not actual blue blue? either way its going to be exciting. what about the dodo? 🦤

@ellie_21dr They are incredible

@colossal i've always been fascinated by extinct animals, i saw a doco on the bluebuck once

There was a blue antelope… and yeah, you’ve probably never heard of it. 💙 The bluebuck was a real, 400 lb, shimmering-blue mammal that vanished fast. Now we’re bringing it back and building tools to help save antelope still here. This story doesn’t have to end the same way.
