Tom Brady recently revealed that he had his beloved pit bull Lua cloned after she passed in 2023. The company behind the science, Viagen -- which is also responsible for other high-profile pet clones -- was recently by Colossal Biosciences, the company striving to "save the planet's most threatened animals."
"Colossal is thrilled to welcome Viagen, the world’s leading cloning company, into our portfolio. No other company comes close to what Viagen has achieved," Colossal founder and CEO Ben Lamm said of the merger. "Their unmatched expertise and cloning technology stack have become the world’s standard, and their application of these critical and proprietary technologies to endangered species conservation makes them an invaluable partner in advancing our global de-extinction and species preservation mission."
Paris Hilton -- who revealed during a November 2023 episode of her reality show, Paris in Love, that she planned to clone her chihuahua Diamond Baby after she went missing earlier that year -- is now an investor in the bioscience company.
"Colossal’s acquisition of Viagen is just another exciting step in their path to bringing back earth’s biodiversity in volume," she said in a press release following the acquisition.
In addition to chihuahuas and pit bulls, Viagen has successfully cloned 15 different species with a nearly 80 percent success rate.
In recent years, Colossal has been inching towards bringing back the woolly mammoth, the dodo, and the Tasmanian tiger from extinction. After successfully achieving de-extinction with the birth of two male dire wolves in October 2024, followed by a female in January, Colossal is creating a genetic vault of dozens of threatened species, including the "critically endangered black rhino and threatened white rhino.
"Viagen’s proprietary technology will fuel Colossal’s de-extinction efforts," Colossal’s Chief Animal Officer Matt James explained.
