Big Bears: Fat Bear Week!

Nope, it's not your office's march madness bracket, it is, in fact, the 5th annual Fat Bear Week! While we would go into detail, the competition is pretty straight forward... Don't bet too much money.

"The annual March Madness-style competition, now in its fifth year, pits some of the well-known bears of the Brooks River against one another for the title of 2019 Fattest Bear. Bear Cam viewers and fans of Katmai’s bears are the ones who decide which bear looks the fattest. The public is encouraged to vote on Katmai National Park and Preserve’s Facebook page in head-to-head matches each day beginning October 2nd. The bear whose photo receives the most likes will advance to the next round, until one bear is crowned “Fattest Bear” on Fat Bear Tuesday, October 8th."
