Happy Fat Bear Week! Alaska National Park Holds Yearly Contest to Vote for the Fattest Bears

For those looking for something fun to do at home over the next few days, Fat Bear Week is a one-stop spot via the internet for something fun and relaxing.

This annual event puts Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern 🏞️Alaska in the limelight, as well as some husky brown bears.

The public is offered the opportunity to check out several brown bears and decide which ones are the fattest in a bracket-style competition according to KING-TV.

These brown bears are touted as being some of the largest on earth, as they make a point of packing on the pounds in preparation for winter hibernation, according to Explore.org.

People who are interested in participating in the voting have the opportunity to decide which bears will progress into each bracket, and which will be eliminated.

Only one bear will be crowned champion of Fat Bear Week.

Voters can “meet the bears” who are contenders for the award at the Katmai National Park and Preserve website, or at Explore.
