fat bear week

I’m upset none of you are posting pictures of the bears you refer to.

Selira

@junipersky They’re in the link, but!

Snackness

@Selira I too struggled with this and ended up voting for 909’s Yearling, despite the sheer adorableness of the triplets.

I may have regrets?

Meg

@Snackness I voted for the triplets, even though clearly they are going to lose. No regrets.

They were cuter and probably had more combined weight!

ETA: also now that i am looking longer, i am really concerned about the fact that there are four cubs in the first pic. aw, oh no, oh jeez.

Snackness

@Meg I am telling myself it’s just a friend who came over to play.

Testament

@Meg Voted for the single bear. Because he got them massive gains.

Nature sucks – another bear took one out, for unknown reasons. Apparently no litter of four has survived intact since they started tracking.

I LOVE THEM.

Also love seeing enthusiasm around Fat Bear Week again, not often so many people are excited about National Parks stuff and it warms my cold, cold heart.

@Snackness omg, 747 is sure numbered right, that baby is a JUMBO JET.

Snackness

@Tez Right!? I love him, but I’m sort of a die-hard Holly fan.

I was talking to a friend about fat bear week, and another friend who was partially overhearing our conversation got a really weird look on their face. When I asked what was wrong, they were like ‘wtf you guys talking about?’. I explained and they looked really relieved suddenly. They replied with, ‘that is NOT what I thought you were talking about’

As for the bears, I feel conflicted about who to vote for this year.

Third Eye

So far I think 747 but I CAN’T DECIDE YET.

@Third-Eye TEAM 747. THE URSIRPER.
