Animals in Pools, Bronze animal sculpture series near Pioneer Courthouse Square, Portland, United States.
Twenty-five bronze sculptures depicting Pacific Northwest wildlife, including bears, otters, and deer, are arranged in ten trough-style fountains along downtown streets.
Georgia Gerber created these sculptures in 1986 during the MAX Light Rail construction project, funded by Downtown Merchants and transportation authorities.
The sculptures represent Pacific Northwest wildlife in an urban setting, encouraging interaction between residents and public art through their accessible placement.
The fountains operate with flowing water during spring, summer, and fall along Southwest Yamhill and Morrison Streets between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
Each bronze animal displays individual characteristics, with features such as otters wearing holiday sweaters and bears teaching cubs to fish.
