The people have spoken, 128 Grazer is the queen of Fat Bear Week 2024! In a landslide vote, the chubby queen beat her competitor, 32 Chunk, in a landslide vote.
In the wake of Fat Bear Week, it is important to remember how vital a healthy ecosystem is, and Katmai National Park and Bristol Bay are perfect examples. Home to Fat Bear Week and one of the largest, healthiest runs of sockeye salmon in the world, the richness of this habitat allows brown bears to thrive. Bears feast on salmon all summer long in preparation for hibernation during the winter, and their profound portliness is proof of their success.
