#bear 747

Fat Bear Week day 2!! Grazer is smashing her bracket so far and if she wins, she’ll next go up against 747 on Saturday! These 2 are both some of my favourite bears to watch, but I’m rooting for Grazer this year, her transformation is incredible!

The second bear I voted for during Wednesday's voting, and my personal favorite for champion of 2022. Bear 747 is just massive, the website says he is one of the largest brown bears on Earth and is estimated to be around 1400 lbs (636 kg). I'm betting this bear is one I'll draw again this week...

Fat Bear Week Finale 2022

Today marks the last day of voting for Fat Bear Week 2022! All the bears did great this year, getting as fat as possible for their winter hibernation, but there can only be one who is crowned the winner. This year it’s between Bear 747, who won in 2020, and Bear 901, who has never won Fat Bear Week. 

Bears abound in Twenty-Two Bears by Swiss children’s writer and librarian Claire Huchet Bishop (1898-1993) with illustrations by German illustrator Kurt Wiese (1887-1974). Published by Viking Press in 1964, the book tells a counting story about twenty-two bears that your very own bear meets for a birthday feast. Of course, your bear returns home in time for bedtime snuggles. This book is part of our Historical Curriculum Collection. 

Don’t forget to vote today in the finals and check back to see who is named fattest bear of 2022!
