Fattest is fabulous for grizzlies in Alaska park

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska grizzly bears packing on kilograms for the winter are competing for more than the season's last salmon. They are also vying for the title of the state's fattest bear.

Fat Bear Week has become a national internet sensation, pitting individual bears against each other in an online voting contest. This year's event, organized by Katmai National Park and Preserve, started with 12 bears.

Their photos have been displayed on Facebook for online voters to examine. As of Monday morning, the remaining contenders were Lefty, Grazer and Holly, a bear that gained fame a few years ago for adopting an abandoned cub.
