747, a.k.a. the Earl of Avoirdupois, is the 2020 Fat Bear Week Champion after he defeated fellow fat bear 32 by 25,201 votes.
While Fat Bear Week may be over, there is still something to celebrate — 747, a.k.a. the Earl of Avoirdupois, is the 2020 Fat Bear Week Champion. First identified in Katmai National Park in 2004, 747 is one of the most dominant bears at Brooks Falls, according to the Fat Bear Week website.
He defeated fellow fat bear 32 by 25,201 votes while last year’s Fat Bear Week Champion Holly was defeated by Chunk in Round Two. Like many people in 2020, 747 is most often found in the jacuzzi or in the far pool and last September, weighed over 1,400 pounds. This year, he looks to be just as big, according to the Fat Bear Week website.
If you just can’t get enough of fat bears, you can watch live cams of the bears at Katmai National Park, buy Fat Bear Week merchandise or donate to the park to support its conservation efforts.
