The Blue Devils have a stronger résumé (for now) to thank for the promotion over the Gators.

Last week, MND’s news desk reported on the growing number of encounters between people and crocodiles in Puerto Vallarta, including the deaths of 11 American crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) across the region in recent weeks. The number is disturbing. So, too, is the timing. Puerto Vallarta is in the middle of a rather active rainy season.

Daily Newsletter Plus: Dean Millien’s aluminum-foil animal world, another museum heist in Europe, and the architect leading a new Chinese vernacular. My favorite installation at MoMA PS1’s quinquennial Greater New York was Dean Millien’s assemblage of city rats and cats made of aluminum foil. It was impressive, charming, and refreshing.
