What is Fat Bear Week?
Fat Bear Week is a celebration of success and survival. It is a way to celebrate the resilience, adaptability and strength of Katmai’s brown bears. Bears are matched against each other in a tournament style competition and online visitors can vote on which bear is ultimately crowned the Fat Bear Week 2023 Champion. Over the course of the week, virtual visitors learn more about the lives and histories of individual bears while also gaining a greater understanding of Katmai’s ecosystem through a series of live events hosted on explore.org. Join us this Fat Bear Week October 4-10 and vote daily from 8am - 5pm AKDT at fatbearweek.org!
You can see more pictures of the bears in this year's competition on Katmai's Flickr page.

And the winner can still run 30 miles per hour and crush your skull like a grape!

Oh, for goodness’ sake, don’t give up so easily! Tell them you identify as a better-late-than-never bear or something.
