Fat Bear Week Postponed After Bear-On-Bear Murder

Fat Bear Week Postponed After Bear-On-Bear Murder
SHARE

Alaska’s annual Fat Bear Week has been postponed due to a tragic event – a grisly murder that shocked viewers and park rangers alike. The competition, where bears compete to be the fattest predator, was put on hold after a younger male brown bear, known as 469 or “Patches,” killed an older female bear, 402, during a salmon hunting expedition at Katmai National Park and Preserve.

The violent encounter was captured on a livestream, showing the ferocious battle between the two bears that ended with 402 being overpowered and dragged into the Brooks River by 469. The younger bear then proceeded to devour his fallen opponent, displaying a brutal side of nature that is rarely witnessed.

Despite both bears being familiar to the park rangers for over two decades, only 402 had ever been a contender for the title of fat bear supreme. Described as a “killer angler” and a mother of multiple litters, 402’s tragic end highlighted the harsh realities of nature and the challenges faced by long-lived mother bears.

An unidentified brown bear snags a sockeye salmon mid-air while gorging on fish at Alaska's Katmai National Park and Preserve last August. The park's annual Fat Bear Week was pushed back a day after a grisly bear-on-bear murder Monday.

The park officials acknowledged the brutal truth of bear-on-bear violence, emphasizing the competitive nature of survival in the wild. Despite the postponement of Fat Bear Week, the annual event where internet users vote for the fattest bear, the 12-bear bracket for this year’s competition will be announced soon.
