America's Great Outdoors

I like fat bears and I can not lie. Fat Bear Week is finally here! In preparation for the long, harsh winter, brown bears at Katmai National Park & Preserve in Alaska have spent the last months stuffing themselves and packing on the pounds. The chubbiest bears are the ones most likely to emerge healthy next spring. Every year, Katmai features before and after photos of some of the park’s bears so that the public can vote for their favorite husky bears. It’s tons of fun.
