In a Facebook comment in response to an inquiry on the August 6th post about their new Amur leopard, Anastasia, Potawatomi Zoo indicated Pearl's daughter, Brizzo/Novee, who had been at the zoo at the time of Pearl's death, had since passed away, writing: "Unrelated, and sadly, our younger leopard, Novee, also died earlier this year of complications from health issues she’d had since she was a baby."

In a Facebook live on Sept. 21, the zoo revealed that the bears coming in will in fact be Andean Bears. This was apparently a last minute change from the planned American Black Bears. They hope the bear exhibit will be complete in Fall 2023. Another exciting addition for the zoo!

In a Facebook live earlier today, the zoo discussed updates on the new lion habitat. They hope to have the exhibit completed when they open for the 2023 season on April 1st. It'll be the typical one male, two female pride coming in. They didn't specify from what zoo, but did mention the lions are coming from a warmer climate and it sounded like they may all be coming from the same facility.
 
On December 6th, the zoo announced they acquired a (0.1) groundhog named Potawatomi Poppy from a local wildlife rehabilitator and will be used as an ambassador animal.

The zoo announced today via Instagram that female Amur Tiger Glinda passed away. She was 7 years old.


“Glinda had been showing signs of a previously unknown mobility issue over the past week. Vet and animal care staff decided to do a medical procedure that required anesthesia. Unfortunately, Glinda didn't survive the procedure. After a necropsy, it was discovered that she had a large, inoperable mass attached to the lower part of her heart. This large mass was near her spine and was the cause of her mobility issues. It also weakened her heart's ability to manage the anesthesia.

Glinda had lived at the Zoo for the last 7 years, most of which were with her three sisters. Glinda was easy to recognize because her eyebrows were matching: a pair of swooshes ~~. Like her sisters, Glinda was named after a witch, but as Gretchen, her primary keeper says, it was fitting that she was named after the good witch.”
