The “Fat Bear Week” competition in Alaska is kicking off late after one of the contenders was killed on camera by another competitor. Fat Bear Week is an annual contest put on by Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska that documents the park’s brown bears as they bulk up by gorging on salmon in preparation for the upcoming winter hibernation.

Voting started Wednesday in the annual Fat Bear Week contest at Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve, with viewers picking their favorite among a dozen brown bears fattened up to survive the winter.

Fat Bear Week marks its 10th anniversary as people vote for their favourite brown bear in Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve.
