It’s Fat Bear Week.

Fat Bear Week is an annual, single-elimination tournament.

The competition shows off the brown bears of Katmai National Park and Preserve as they complete their transformations from scrawny to “fat” for hibernation. We get to watch along on the live Bear Cams.

The competition has been around since 2014. The average midsummer weight of an adult male in Katmai is estimated between 700 to 900 pounds. Several large brown bears in Katmai can weigh in at over 1,000 pounds by the fall.

Until October 8th, the public votes online for the bear that they think best exemplifies fatness in brown bears. The bear with the most votes advances. Only one is crowned Fat Bear Week champion. The main goal of Fat Bear Week is to promote conservation efforts to preserve places like Katmai.

Fans can vote on Explore.org’s website every day of the competition between noon and 9pm.
