This National Park Holds A Fattest Bear Competition

Katmai National Park and Preserve in Southwest Alaska is a haven for bears and bear watchers alike. They are particularly well known for their bear cam, which enables visitors to spectate the daily routine of these brown bears in their natural habitat. However, they are also gaining recognition through their Fat Bear contest, a yearly competition to which the pudgiest bears only may apply. Here are a few of this year’s hopefuls.
