Fat Bear Week has been around since 2014. Much like March Madness with NCAA basketball, Fat Bear Week has a much-hyped bracket reveal on Sept. 30 when we officially meet the 12 corpulent contestants. These magnificent bears are the chonkiest of the chonky.
Katmai’s brown bears are some of the biggest in the world. Adult males can top 1,200 pounds as they prepare for winter. The bears themselves aren’t aware of the competition. They’re just busy stuffing their faces with salmon along the Brooks River. Humans, however, get to learn about the contestants, choose favorites and vote in multiple rounds of the contest until a supreme bear is crowned. It’s a single-elimination tournament.
