The 13th annual Fat Bear Week, where fans vote for the brown bear that has gained the most weight, is running from September 22 to 29. Sixteen bears are competing in Alaska's Katmai National Park, with last year's winner, Chunk, hoping to defend his title. The competition underscores the vital importance of bears gaining weight to endure up to six months of hibernation.
