Fat Bear Week Emerges From Scandal to Crown a New Champion
Every year, the internet votes on their favorite fat bear from Katmai National Park in Alaska
Every year, the internet votes on their favorite fat bear from Katmai National Park in Alaska. The bears are preparing for their winter hibernation.
While 747 won his second crown after winning it for the first time in 2020, it didn't come without controversy. It appeared the bear was going to lose his semifinal matchup after 2019 champion 435 Holly had late surge in votes, but the Katmai National Park & Preserve announced Sunday that someone had spammed the poll with fraudulent votes for Holly.
