Fat bear week is fun because they're all storing up fat for the winter and look a lil tubby and cute.
Fun fact: To the horror of many, a much beloved previous fat bear winner got horribly and intentionally drowned by another bear on film not too long ago in a rare and unsettling occurrence of bear on bear aggression.
Thanks so much for posting! Just FYI !wholesome@reddthat.com is far busier
Yay! Best week of the year!
Reminds me of how every few months me and some people I know spam my mom with pics of fat tigers. She hates it and it's hilarious.
We should start doing this but with people we know, like at work.
- This is quite a cruel joke to make
- We want these glorious animals to survive the winter. That's the obsession.
  Silly.
- Don't project human body standards onto bears. Fattening up before Winter hibernation is necessary for bears' survival
