Fat Bear Week is the BEST part of the month, because, well, it involves literal giant mammals.

The annual event was started back in 2014 by the Alaskan National Park, Katmai.

The idea is simple: a March-Madness style bracket of the "Fattest" Bear that they've seen in the park!

It's also a great way to how off the resilience of the incredible animals, but also as a learning opportunity about the wildlife in the park!

Over the week, fans will learn about Fat Bears, and more specifically the lives and histories of the individual bears.

Presenting your Titans of Tub and hulking, hefty heroes! These bears will soon duke it out to see which tanking tummy reigns supreme. Check out their bios and pics at https://t.co/V2bF4olcpu.
