Thousands from around the globe will be casting votes for their favorite fat bear as the animals begin stuffing up for winter.
Mark your calendars! Fat Bear Week is returning in a few days—that special time of year when you can wholeheartedly and proudly root for your favorite plump bear.In preparation for their winter slumber, these adorable brown bears indulge in a salmon buffet at Brooks River, piling on the pounds for a cozy five- to eight-month hibernation nap. Bears need to consume enough calories before hibernation to avoid losing 15-30% of their body weight, according to the National Park Service.
"Fat Bear Week highlights the accomplishments of these burly bruins and shines a spotlight on the healthy ecosystem in which they can thrive," the National Park Service said in a press release."The Brooks River is part of the Bristol Bay watershed; one of the last great salmon runs left on earth. Without the pristine Brooks River ecosystem to support an abundant salmon run, there would be no Fat Bear champions.
Some mischievous individuals attempted to push their favorites up the ballot by submitting fake votes. Thankfully, vigilant poll workers detected the irregularity and promptly discarded the phony votes. Let's hope for a clean election this year. You can start filling out your brackets Oct. 2, and the voting starts from Oct. 4 through Oct. 10.
