Voting has officially opened for the annual “Fat Bear Week” competition in Katmai National Park, Alaska. The event, organized by explore.org, allows the public to vote for their favorite bear who has successfully bulked up for the upcoming winter hibernation.
This year, twelve bears are competing for the title, including past champions like Holly and Walker. The competition, which runs from September 29th to October 5th, encourages people to appreciate the bears’ remarkable ability to gain weight and survive the harsh winter conditions.
“Fat Bear Week is a fun and unique way to learn about the natural world and the incredible adaptations bears have to survive,” said a representative from explore.org. “We hope this event will raise awareness about the importance of protecting these magnificent animals and their habitats.”
Voters can visit the explore.org website to view profiles of each bear and decide who they think deserves the title of the fattest bear of the year. The winner will be decided based on the number of votes cast, with the champion announced at the end of the competition.
The event not only celebrates these incredible animals but also serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect bear populations in the wild.
