#FatBearWeek is Happening and Everyone Needs to Know About
The brown bears are packing on the pounds to get them through the winter and the Rangers at Katmai National Park and Preserve have created a bracket that allows us to follow along. September 30th through October 6th is now know as Fat Bear Week and each day the park’s social media accounts will feature before and after photos. Then it’s your job to vote for the best hibernator.
Welcome to #FatBearWeek 2020! Today’s first matchup is between the dominant doge, bear 856, and big-bootied bear 151 Walker. In this arena, can 151 Walker flaunt his fatness or will 856 once again prove that overbearing obesity wins the day?
