Fall leaves bring fat bears
By AVERY N. HAGGARD,
2 days agoFat Bear Week is a week to celebrate the transformation from cubs in the spring to large bears preparing for hibernation in the winter. The tradition was founded by Mike Fitz in 2014. Fitz was a Katmai National Park and Preserve ranger, who focused on the preservation of brown bears within the park. The original launch of Fat Bear Week was on Sep. 30, 2014, and was originally known as Fat Bear Tuesday. The launch gained popularity and developed into a week-long bracket, with online voters in 2015. The Language Arts teacher at Eaton High School, Emily Sorenson, stated, “Fat Bear Week is a quirky way for the public to engage with an intimidating species without damaging their habitat or disrupting the bear’s environment. I learned about it years ago while listening to my favorite podcast, Ologies with Alie Ward, and I’ve never looked back!” As popularity has increased, people are beginning to respect the environment more and show courtesy to wildlife and animals.
