Fat Bear Week at Katmai National Park

Brown bears at Katmai National Park's Brooks Falls fish for migrating sockeye salmon between mid-June and mid-October. The bears gain significant weight during this period, consuming salmon rich in healthy fats to prepare for winter survival. Fat Bear Week occurs in September, where viewers vote for the fattest bear, with notable champions including four-time winner Otis, last year's winner Grazer, and dominant males like Chunk.
