It's that time of the year again! Fat Bear Week voting starts the September 22nd and runs until the 29th!
Each year in Katmai National Park and Preserve brown bears gather to prepare for hibernation. Watch them feast on salmon on the explore.org bear cams. Learn about the bears and then vote for your favorite fat bear. Only one bear will be crowned Fat Bear Week champion.
Check out my favorite, Marshmallow!
Matchups are open for voting September 22-29 between 12 - 9 p.m. Eastern / 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Pacific.
Teachers can also have their classrooms join in on the fun with Fat Bear Week in the Classroom.
Enjoy some books about bears during Fat Bear Week!
