A thread with pics of the bears of this year’s #FatBearWeek to cheer you up after the stress of the debates.

Here’s 747, who deserves to finally be crowned champion.

Here’s Holly, the 2019 champion. She once adopted a cub! We stan.

Otis allllmost got my champion vote this year because he’s beautiful (and is the oldest bear who regularly visits the falls). But he’s already won a few times!

Grazer has a new scar on her face (poor baby) that makes her look EXACTLY like the Pokémon Teddiursa.

Look how cute Chunk’s face is. A great name for a great bear.

Ahhhhh this photo of Walker is so good. He’s literally as fat as a boulder. I love him.

856 is a big strong boy. But more importantly, he is very photogenic.

One of 402’s cubs licking her face She’s an old, beautiful momma bear.

812 could be one of 402’s large adult sons. He’s great at the mlem pose.

719 is one of Holly’s many cubs. She’s relatively young and already so fat. Proud of you, 719. Here she is with her babies last year.

909 could be one of Beadnose’s cubs, which makes me want to cry because Beadnose was the most beautiful most fattest bear (and a Fat Bear Week champion) who hasn’t been seen since 2018.

Holly’s spring cub. She is baby. A porcupine hurt her recently, which wasn’t very cool of the porcupine imo

I think that’s all the contenders for this year’s Fat Bear Week! Let me know if I missed anyone. As a bonus, here is my favorite Fat Bear, Beadnose. She hasn’t been seen since 2018 but she can always be found in my heart.
