Once a year the internet votes for the fattest bear in Katmai National Park and Preserve.

It's a very Canadian moment.
An Ontario, Canada, woman captured the moment a small black bear tried to enter her Dorion home on July 15. Marysol Deeley recorded as a young black bear turned up on her doorstep over the weekend. Deeley woke up early Saturday morning after she heard a bang and tapping on the bedroom window. She went out to investigate and found the animal. Deeley told CBC News she decided to capture the moment for her friends that don't live in the country and don't encounter wildlife up close. Credit: Marysol Deeley via Storyful
Good reminder to eat your fruits.
Because of you, a bear was killed. You kept making a mess. You kept leaving your garbage on the ground and in the shelter. You kept cooking in your campsite. You kept storing food in your tent and in your backpack. And the bear still couldn't resist. It was hungry and alone. And it kept coming back.
Killing more bears will do little to reduce nuisance bears while municipalities continue to allow plastic bags of garbage at curbside. Reducing attractants and learning to live with black bears is the solution -- not the expansion of a poorly monitored, scientifically unsupported and inhumane spring bear hunt.
