We love seeing posts like this! He will be missed here at the Alaska Zoo but will go on to teach others about his species 💕

Meet Mr. Potter! 🐻👋

Our newest resident has arrived and is already making us smile as he explores his new home and plays with his new best friend, Mr. Reeves.

Mr. Potter is an American Black Bear who was rescued as a cub by the State of Alaska after his mother passed away. He was then transferred to the Alaska Zoo for care and treatment in the fall of 2025 before arriving in Oshkosh on May 18, 2026.

Today, Mr. Potter and Mr. Reeves were introduced in the exhibit and quickly formed a positive bond. We’re already obsessed with watching these two pals interact!

We’re especially thankful to an anonymous donor for helping bring Mr. Potter to Menominee Park Zoo, and to our community for the continued support that makes things like this possible.

Stop by and welcome Mr. Potter! 🎉

Come to the Alaska Zoo this weekend! See the orphaned moose calves who came to us in need of care by biologists, and who are now thriving in the care of our Animal Team. The moose calves are in one of our outdoor infirmary pens.
Would you like to dive deeper into the zoo and provide extra support for our animals? Stop by admissions to purchase animal feedings or a Big Six Tour! Feedings today are adult moose/muskox at 10:30, alpaca/camel at 12:30 and black bears at 2:30 - you get to feed with a guide!
The Big Six Tour features stops at polar bear, wolves, tiger, snow leopard, brown bears and moose. This tour is offered all days but Sundays this summer, plus we have online booking options and other tour packages at https://www.alaskazoo.org/summer-feedings-tours.
