KATMAI NATIONAL PARK, Alaska – The 11th annual Fat Bear Week winner was crowned after a strong competition. A bracket vote was held between 11 bears that live near Brook River within Katmai National Park in southern Alaska. Katmai National Park said Chunk took the win with a whopping 96,350 votes. "Bear 32 ‘Chunk’ is the boulder-bodied bruiser, built like a freight train with fur," the national park said in a Facebook post on Tuesday prior to the close of voting. Fat Bear Week will resume again in 2026.
