Last year's Fat Bear Week in Alaska was shrouded in controversy after someone tried to stuff ballots 'like bears stuff their face with fish.' Now the event is back to crown the fattest of Katmai National Park's 'burly bruins.'
The bears are back – bigger, hungrier and hopefully, fatter than ever. Fat Bear Week will soon launch at Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska, bringing some of the park's most beloved bears to the spotlight to eat their way to get the crown for fattest bear before it's time to hibernate for the winter.
"Fat Bear Week highlights the accomplishments of these burly bruins and shines a spotlight on the healthy ecosystem in which they can thrive," a news release from the National Park Service says."... Without the pristine Brooks Rivers ecosystem to support an abundant salmon run, there would be no Fat Bear champions." This year's contenders have yet to be announced.
