Fat Bear Week 2022: Voting has started

Spring is for skinny bears and March Madness basketball. Fall, however, is for fat bears -- and for Katmai National Park & Preserve's annual Fat Bear Week and its accompanying tournament of crowning a chubby champion for 2022. And unlike that bracket-busting basketball tourney, you can actually vote in this contest. Online public voting started Wednesday.

 

vote here.

 

The contest is "a way to celebrate the resilience, adaptability and strength of Katmai's brown bears," the park says on its website. The 12 heavyweights have been in training for the big event since emerging from hibernation, foraging on all the salmon and other food nature provides at this park in coastal southwest Alaska. Katmai goes all out with the promotion on social media like Twitter with brackets and the works.

 

Meet contestant 128 Grazer. Her photo was taken on September 10, 2022.

 

The park also provides colorful bios and informative before/after photos of the adorable (but nevertheless formidable) brown bear contestants on its website.
