We have a CHONKION! The Fat Bear Week crown goes to: 🐻 Bear 89 Backpack 👑 Heavy is the bear that wears the crown. Like really heavy. Thank you to everyone who voted, shared, cheered, argued passionately about bears, defended your favorite chonk, and generally made Fat Bear Week the wonderfully amazing celebration of bears, salmon, the Alaskan ecosystem, and did we mention the bears? Also, a BIG thank you to all 16 bears who involuntarily participated. They ate. They napped. They fished. They grew enormous. They understood the assignment. (Shoutout to the salmon and runner-up Bear 910.) Here’s to a successful winter for Katmai’s fat bears!
