Fat Bear Week Winner: The Results Are In!

Introduction

Fat Bear Week is an annual event held at Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. During the week, the park's brown bears emerge from their dens after a long winter and begin to feed on the salmon that are returning to spawn. The bears gain weight rapidly in preparation for the winter, and Fat Bear Week is a chance for visitors to see these amazing animals at their largest.
