Palmer Luckey of Anduril is teaming with Ben Lamm of Colossal Biosciences to launch Warhound, a startup dedicated to genetically engineering and cloning dogs for service in war, police work and first responder work.

Speaking to Wired, Lamm explained that the project was twofold. One part of the project would oversee the genetic engineering and cloning of the ideal dogs for war, and the other would develop tech for them to use on battlefields.

A lion dog. The price is about right if you think about it. How else will you get a trainer brave enough to approach a real live lion, offer it a chihuahua and then have the lion hump the chihuahua?....oh, you brought a male chihuahua, and now it is humping the lion? Both a trying tp eat you?....oh you brought a large dog and the baby dog is a monster 2 stories tall with insaciable hunger for human flesh?....those could be problems. But you never see a lion eagle hybrid because that's just not gonna happen.

It should have been Luckey instead of Andrew Scott Reisse.
