Chunk 32 Fat Bear Week Socks

Katmai National Park in Alaska hosts Fat Bear Week, an online competition where bears battle for the title of the fattest bear. The competition features brown bears, primarily those from Brooks River, as they prepare for hibernation. Every year, people get to vote for their favorite bear, celebrating how much weight these animals pack before their long winter hibernation. TChunk is a large adult male with narrowly-set eyes, a prominent brow ridge, and a distinctive scar across his muzzle. Even at his leanest, Chunk carries substantial fat reserves, especially on his hind quarters. In early summer he tends to shed much of the fur around his shoulders and neck. This gives him a two-toned appearance and exposes numerous scars and wounds.
