Still, it rarely felt particularly close, with the Bucks starting fast and maintaining a comfortable lead most of the way. They blew it open for good early in the fourth quarter with an 11-0 run that turned an 11-point lead into a 114-92 cushion on Portis’...

(CNN) — Five words from famed daytime talk show host Maury Povich helped Denver Zoo officials solve the monthslong mystery of which orangutan fathered baby girl Siska: “Berani, you are the father!”When the pregnancy of Sumatran orangutan Eirina, Siska’s mother, was confirmed last spring, zoo officials weren’t sure who the dad was, according to Denver Zoo’s integrated communications director, Jake Kubié.They knew there were two possibilities: either 16-year-old Jaya, an orangutan who was moved to the Denver Zoo as a mate for Eirina in 2019; or 30-year-old Berani.“After Siska was born on August 27, 2023, our Animal Care and Health teams were very careful to not interfere with Eirina and Siska’s bonding time and had to wait for a few months before they were able to get a hair sample from Siska so they could compare her DNA to samples from Berani and Jaya,” Kubié told CNN in an email.He said the zoo’s animal care specialists had previously observed courtship and mating activity bet...

National gun rights group to appeal ruling upholding Massachusetts’ ban on assault weapons
