fat bear week winner

This new tradition always makes me chuckle and demonstrates some of the best uses of the internet. 

Wouldn't it be great if we could have this sense of humor about our own human layers of insulation?

The people have spoken! The portly patriarch of paunch persevered to pulverize the Baron of Beardonkadonk in the final match of #FatBearWeek 2021. 480 Otis can now boast a bevy of bests w/ this fourth 1st place finish. As we celebrate, like a true champ 480 is still chowing down. pic.twitter.com/rLvm7pvGJW

Salmon- the true sponsors of Fat Bear Week! Bristol Bay watershed, of which Katmai is a part of, supports the healthiest & largest run of sockeye salmon in the world. Salmon are the lifeblood of Katmai's ecosystem, vital to all our flora & fauna and to #FatBearWeek!

The climactic clash that culminates in the crowning of the king of the capacious creatures of Katmai! Can 480 Otis’ tummy topple 151 Walker’s whopper of a beardonkadonk in this epic battle of the bulge?
