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! 🎉
