Minnesota Zoo says goodbye to 'Dari,' a 13-year-old Amur tiger who birthed six cubs
Sundari, a 13-year-old female Amur tiger who gave birth to six cubs at the Minnesota Zoo, has died. The tiger, whose name was often shortened to "Dari," was humanely euthanized July 12 due to mesothelioma, an aggressive and incurable form of cancer, the Apple Valley zoo announced. "We are grateful for the tireless and compassionate efforts of our animal care and veterinary teams and their work to ensure Dari passed peacefully under expert care," the zoo said on social media. She was born June 17, 2012, and raised at the Minnesota Zoo, where her keepers remember her as a "true matriarch, a pillar of strength and irreplaceable member of our zoo." She gave birth to six cubs: Vera, Brosno, Vostok, Yana and, most recently, Amaliya and Andrei, who were born May 23, 2024. "The arrival of Amaliya and Andrei shined a global spotlight on the Minnesota Zoo and served as a reminder of the critical role we play in tiger conservation," the zoo said. Related: In the woods of Minnesota, Avon Hills Folk School is quietly reviving lost arts Amur tigers, the largest of all cats, are considered endangered and came close to extinction in the 1930s and 1940s, though conservation efforts have since helped raise the population, the zoo said. Still, it's believed that about 500 or fewer remain in the wild. The Minnesota Zoo is involved in the Amur Tiger Species Survival Plan, which it says serves as a 'genetic insurance policy' against extinction. By closely observing Sundari's maternal care and behaviors, Minnesota Zoo zookeepers have been able to share best practices with other zoos. 'Through her life, Dari gave the (Species Survival Plan) program what it needed most – consistency, maternal excellence and critical genetic contribution," Trista Fischer, a Minnesota Zoo zoologist and coordinator of the Amur Tiger Species Survival Plan, said in a statement. "She nurtured her cubs with extraordinary love and helped guide a new generation of care for tiger mothers." There have been 46 Amur tiger cubs born at the Minnesota Zoo in its 46-year history. Of those, 21 have had litters of their own, resulting in another 86 cubs to boost the species' population, the zoo said.

Man charged with assaulting police officer, possessing drugs at Lincoln Center in St. Cloud
A St. Cloud police officer was at the Lincoln Center homeless shelter in the early morning hours of Monday, July 14, when he was reportedly hit during an altercation. The St. Cloud Police Department responded to a fight shortly after midnight on July 14 at the homeless shelter, according to a criminal complaint filed by the Benton County Attorney's Office. A staff member reportedly told authorities a father and son were fighting; however, the father said it was just "a tussle" when questioned by authorities, court records state. The son, who was eventually arrested and charged in court, was later found embracing a woman, according to the statement of probable cause. Officers asked the son, 39, to identify himself, but he refused, court records allege. Authorities then told the suspect he was under arrest and to put his hands behind his back, but the son reportedly didn't comply. A St. Cloud police officer then reportedly grabbed the son's arm but the son pulled away, causing the officer to fall. The son allegedly continued to punch another officer in the face, according to the criminal complaint, causing a small cut inside the officer's mouth and blood on his lips. The officer who fell got back up and wrapped his arms around the son's waist and brought him to the ground, according to the statement of probable cause. The suspect continued to resist the officer, allegedly kicking him in the process. Sign up for our alerts to receive the latest updates on important news. The son's efforts to resist arrest didn't end there; he allegedly spit at a third officer, hitting the officer in the face. The suspect was eventually arrested and booked at the Benton County Jail. Once at the jail, authorities found 17 pills believed to be either Percocet or counterfeit fentanyl. His arrest comes after the son was convicted of a felony fifth-degree controlled substance crime in 2016. The Benton County Attorney's Office filed felony charges of possessing a controlled substance, assaulting a police officer and throwing bodily fluids at a police officer. A gross misdemeanor charge or obstructing the legal process was also filed. The son's bail is set at $25,000 without conditions, but it can be lowered to $10,000 if he doesn't consume alcohol or controlled substances.
