Do you like to eat? Do you like to sleep? Looking to bulk up before winter? Then follow the "Rumble and Roar Katmai Bear Diet and Exercise Program."* The most successful bears in the program can catch and eat more than 30 salmon (over 120 pounds) per day! And don’t forget the naps! But don’t take our word for it. <growling sounds> Second thought: no bears were available for comment. Fattening up as winter approaches is essential for the bears at Katmai National Park & Preserve; relying on stored fat for energy, they can lose up to a third of their body fat during the winter. The more bulk they put on in the summer and fall, the more likely they are to survive the long, cold winter. During #FatBearWeek, learn more about the lives of bears while also gaining a greater understanding of Katmai’s ecosystem through a series of live events hosted on explore.org. Vote daily for the bear you think mastered the "rumble and roar diet" the best from 8 am - 5 pm AKDT at fatbearweek.org! ⁣⁣ *If you’re not an Alaskan brown bear prepping for winter, this may not be the ideal diet for you. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Image: Screenshot of text, “Do you like to eat?
