KATMAI NATIONAL PARK & PRESERVE – They call it a fluffy death ball!
Look at that buoyant bulk of brown bear, floating and paddling along in the waters of Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present one of the most dangerous predators in the world,” Franzi Schimmer wrote on Instagram of her memorable video. “Or maybe a teddy bear.”
It’s the perfect clip to help us appreciate the remarkable rotundity of these bears as Fat Bear Week unfolds. You can vote for your favorite fattest bear until Sept. 30, 2025.
