No Fat Bear Week? They’ve gone too far.
ive always thought fat bear week was superior to shark week
What will the fat bears do?!
What is fat bear week?
The bears in Alaska bulk up for hibernation. They come into the park really, really skinny and then everyone makes bets on who will put on the most weight. It's a lot of fun.
Choose the fattest bear of the year! Some of the largest brown bears on Earth make their home at Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska. Brown bears get fat to survive and Fat Bear Week is an annual tournament celebrating their success in preparation for winter hibernation.

I recommend checking out the above link for some chonky bear pics.
Eh I’ve been doing that for decades, these bears aren’t special.

How can a national park be 'closed'? Do they build a giant wall around them in the great 'merica to isolate the nature inside? Do they make you pay for a ticket like in an amusement park?
The rangers go home. If there are gates, they close them.
And trash stops getting picked up and the bathrooms are locked, so you can imagine what happens when people go in anyway.
Why you downvoting this guy? I was wondering too how closing a national park works 🤔
