In a storyline better befitting a melodrama than a popularity vote, Grazer won her second Fat Bear Contest Tuesday by defeating the male behemoth that killed her cub this summer.
Grazer beat Chunk by more than 40,000 votes cast by fans watching live cameras of Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve.
The day before the competition was to begin a sow, 402, was killed by a boar, 469, orphaning her 1.5 year old cub. 32 Chunk stole 402’s remains from 469.
Good gods. Is this some dystopian soap opera?
Nah. It’s just bears.
