It’s Fat Bear week on the Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska!
From Explore.org:
“Vote for the fattest bear of the year! Some of the largest brown bears on Earth make their home at Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska. Brown bears get fat to survive and Fat Bear Week is an annual tournament celebrating their success in preparation for winter hibernation. Matchups are open for voting September 23-30 between 12 – 9 p.m. Eastern / 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Pacific.”
While you’re thinking about fat bears, celebrate fat bear week and come cheer on resident black bears Timber and Tyler before they get into hibernation mode at Caldwell Zoo!
