The fluffiest showdown of the year is almost here… 🐻👑

Mark your calendars - #FatBearWeek runs September 23–30! Before the big bears take the stage, don’t miss the chubby cubby contest with Fat Bear Junior on September 18–19. 🐾

Hosted by KatmaiNPP, Fat Bear Week celebrates the incredible brown bears bulking up before hibernation. It’s a fun way to learn about the power of healthy habitats, and yes, it’s also your chance to vote for your favorite chonk.

Who are you rooting for this year? 👇
