There will be no lots of fat-shaming bears in this thread!

@Selira for real, ty for bringing this to our attention

I’m here for the mega-chonky bears. I was made aware about Fat Bear week during 2020, so this has become a new tradition for me.

Day 2: While the triplets are adorable, only one of these is, truly, clearly, the fattest bear.

As per your handle, your factual analysis is flawless … but 3 > 1, soooo.

I’m upset none of you are posting pictures of the bears you refer to.

Selira

@junipersky They’re in the link, but!

Snackness

@Selira I too struggled with this and ended up voting for 909’s Yearling, despite the sheer adorableness of the triplets.

I may have regrets?

Meg

@Snackness I voted for the triplets, even though clearly they are going to lose. No regrets.

They were cuter and probably had more combined weight!

ETA: also now that i am looking longer, i am really concerned about the fact that there are four cubs in the first pic. aw, oh no, oh jeez.

Snackness

@Meg I am telling myself it’s just a friend who came over to play.

Testament

@Meg Voted for the single bear. Because he got them massive gains.

Nature sucks – another bear took one out, for unknown reasons. Apparently no litter of four has survived intact since they started tracking.
