Fat Bear Week 2024 drew to a close yesterday, with last year’s chonky champ taking the crown once again. For the second year in a row, enthusiastic viewers voted for the impressively rotund 128 Grazer to take all in the annual bracket-style contest live streamed from Alaska’s Katmai National Park.<\/p>\n

“Grazer\u2019s fur-midable reign continues! Let us raise our paws and honor the royal highness of roundness, the majestic monarch of munching, the snacking sovereign of salmon,” writes the National Park Service on Instagram, calling Grazer one of the most successful and adaptable bears in the park when it comes to bulking up for winter.<\/p>\n

Making Grazer’s double victory all the sweeter is that her opponent, a 1,200 lb male bear named 32 Chunk, killed her cub back in July after it was washed over a waterfall.<\/p>\n

“This is a win for moms everywhere,” writes one follower.<\/p>\n
