Fat bear week is back!
To prepare for hibernation, bears in Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve our packing on the pounds.
So the National Park Service turned it into an annual contest, which is now in its fifth year.
The park’s chubbys bears are pitted against one another in head-to-head matchups.
There is even an online bracket featuring profiles of the husky competitors.
2018’s winner was Beadnose, who took the top prize with his startling transformation.
Yes that is the same bear.
This year’s early favorite is Holly who is just itching to win it all.
Online voting is already open and the chunky camp will be named on October 8.
