ICYMI: Otis the brown bear, one of the ursine elders of Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska, was crowned as the winner of Katmai National Park's annual Fat Bear Week in Alaska
Otis, a brown bear estimated to be 24 to 26 years old, was crowned on Tuesday as the winner of Katmai’s. He came out on top in an online competition pitting 12 large, salmon-chomping bears against one another.
"The portly patriarch of paunch persevered to pulverize the Baron of Beardonkadonk," the park said in its Twitter announcement. Wildlife fans submitted votes in a playoff-style competition featuring photographs and video of the bears feasting at a waterfall site on the salmon-rich Brooks River. Explore.org's "bear cam" captured live footage of the bear action at Brooks Falls.First documented at the falls in 2001, Otis was the inaugural Fat Bear champion, winning in 2014 when the event was held on a single day. He also took the 2016 and 2017 titles.
