Mama bear beats rival that killed her cub to win Fat Bear Contest: "First working mom to ever be crowned champion"

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.

But I'm pretty sure a bear was killed around the contest right? I swear my wife watched some tiktoks or whatever about the fat bear contest being postponed because one of the contestants mauled another one on camera and killed it.

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.
