Welcome everyone, to Fat Bear Week 2021!

A celebration of hard working conservationists, beautiful natural spaces and the biggest and fattest bears possible, Fat Bear Week has been a staple of Katmai National Park since 2014.

Last year’s champion, Bear 747, recently had his volume estimated using a long distance scanner, which put him in the region of 1416lbs! What a whopper!

Explore the Hall of Champions and meet the wee bears of this year’s new Fat Bear Week Jr competition (won just days ago by Bear 132’s spring cub, who now gets to join the adults in the main competition). Just take a look at that fat bear behind!

You can watch the competitors (and pick your fave) as they chow down on hundreds of pounds of salmon every day on explore.org’s webcams. Voting opens tomorrow, so get ready to enjoy some real fuzzy fatties!
