Grazer Triumphs in Fat Bear Week, Defeating Rival Chunk

The mother bear wins the contest for the second consecutive year, overcoming the male bear that killed her cub.

Grazer, known for her defensive nature, secured her victory with over 71,000 votes, more than doubling Chunk's count.
The competition, held at Katmai National Park, celebrates bears' ability to prepare for winter by accumulating fat through salmon feeding.
Grazer's win is significant due to her recent loss; one of her cubs was fatally attacked by Chunk, the dominant male bear.
The annual event, now in its tenth year, draws global attention through live camera feeds, allowing public voting on the bears' size and survival readiness.
Despite his dominance and size, Chunk, weighing over 1,200 pounds, was unable to claim the title as Grazer's resilience captivated voters.
