Resident Black Bears
Peanut
22 yr old Female
Peanut was born at a zoo in Minnesota where she was hand raised and used in Educational Outreach as a young cub. She came to Ober in June of 2001 with her sister Minnie (who passed from cancer in 2022) and has enjoyed a long and healthy life. She is a sweetheart to our keepers but prefers to have time to herself instead of sharing her space with other bears.
