Fat Bear Week
Fat Bear Week is a single elimination tournament where the public votes online for the fattest, most successful Katmai bear. The bear with the most votes advances and one winner is crowned Fat Bear Week champion.
Bear 32 Chunk is the Fat Bear Week 2025 champion!
Chunk is a prime example of what it means to be resilient. Facing a broken jaw throughout the summer, nobody knew what the season would look like for him, but there is no denying that he defied all expectations. Chunk got fat, and as we know, a fat bear is a bear ready to survive the winter. It's what we celebrate with Fat Bear Week. And today, we celebrate Chunk.
Thank you to every single person who voted, shared, and engaged with Fat Bear Week!
Congratulations to our 2025 Fat Bear Jr Winner - 128 Jr!
This chunky champ has defeated all the other chubby cubs to claim the Fat Bear Jr crown!
