Haiyun Jiang for The New York TimesInstead, if Mr. Trump wins next week’s New Hampshire primary, a march to a third nomination is all but certain. Some in the news media were reluctant to direct their audiences to Mr. Trump, especially shortly after he left office, for fear that it would only amplify his lies about his election loss. Since 2016, both Republican and Democratic leaders have often agreed that it helps Democrats to have Mr. Trump at the political fore. Mr. Biden has signaled his plans to highlight Mr. Trump’s efforts to subvert his loss in the 2020 election, invoking the attack on the Capitol and Mr. Trump’s revisionist history of what happened.

☆ Australia says it's going to shoot wild horses from helicopters in a bid to cull 14,000 of them

Officials in New South Wales say they've authorized the shooting of wild horses from helicopters. They've been given a task of eliminating some 14,000 wild horses at a national park in four years. "Aerial shooting" would involve operatives firing on the horses from helicopters — a tactic that the local government trialed in November. AdvertisementCurrent government estimates of the national park's wild horse population sit between 12,934 and 22,546 horses, with a best gauge of around 17,400. Supporters of protecting the wild horses say the animals are part of Australia's heritage, and have decried the revival of the aerial shootings.

☆ Not so dead as a dodo: ‘De-extinction’ plan to reintroduce bird to Mauritius

CNN —An audacious collaboration between geneticists and conservationists plans to bring back the extinct dodo and reintroduce it to its once-native habitat in Mauritius. But according to the partners, its return to Mauritius could benefit the dodo’s immediate environment and other species. The Nicobar pigeon, native to the coastal regions from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is the closest living relative to the dodo. Then it will edit the PGCs of a Nicobar so it expresses the physical traits of a dodo. “I have studied the dodo for many years, and there is still a lot to learn about this enigmatic bird,” he added.

☆ ‘Southern/Modern’: Rediscovering the Radical Art Below the Mason-Dixon Line

Of the many strengths of “Southern/Modern,” a daring and revisionist show about the American South at the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, the one that follows you out to your car is the alternate history of modern art it proposes. Southern art — or food or literature, for that matter — has long suffered a reputation of isolation. You would have to be born there,” says the tortured Quentin in William Faulkner’s “Absalom, Absalom!” Ninety years later, Southern exceptionalism is over (mostly), and the area’s artists and curators and chefs now go to great, overcorrective lengths to be global, to be modern. But the artists of Faulkner’s day — they were still responding to an ancient, haunted South. These 100 or so paintings and prints suggest an invigorating direction that was there all along: a pungent pairing of social history with artistic experiment during the first half of the 20th century.

America is the sixth-most-expensive place in the world to build subways and trolleys. The solutions will cost trillions of dollars and require a pace of building unseen in America since World War II. Perhaps the single most pressing question we face today is: How do we make America build again? "For this class of projects, federal environmental laws are more the exception." The prospect of overhauling our hard-won environmental laws might feel like sacrilege to anyone who cares about the Earth.

With abundant garbage available to them, city rats might not go after wildlife in the same numbers. However, if all rats in NYC died tomorrow it would still save a lot of animals like birds, coyotes, foxes, and feral cats that die each year from rodenticide, the poison used to kill rats, Munshi-South said.

☆ Cats have 276 different facial expressions, study finds

In a study published in the journal Behavioural Processes last month, two US scientists counted 276 different facial expressions when domesticated cats interacted with one another. Both researchers assessed the differences in expression with a coding system designed specifically for cats, called the cat Facial Action Coding System, and looking at the number and types of facial muscle movements. The study added that muscle movements associated with biological processes such as breathing and yawning were not included. “Our hope is to expand our sample size to include cats living in other locations…looking at the facial expressions of cats living in multi-cat homes, feral colonies” and so on, Florkiewicz said. Another goal for the future is to conduct a follow-up study to determine what more of the expressions mean, she added.

Crocodiles appeared to nudge a stray dog to safety when it took refuge in a river. Scientists are not sure why the crocs didn't just eat the dog, as they were within "striking range." Scientists studying the reptiles can't make sense of why the crocs didn't just eat the dog. The pup eventually took refuge in the river Savitri, where three adult mugger crocodiles were floating nearby. "These crocodiles were actually touching the dog with their snout" the researchers reported in the study adding that the crocodiles "seemingly nudged and escorted [the dog] to safety."
