Sea otters were once wiped out in Southeast Alaska due to the fur trade, but their population has skyrocketed since reintroduction in the 1960s.

First-time winner 32 Chunk defeated enormous elder 856 in the finals on Tuesday, ousting two-time title holder 128 Grazer.  

Amid a bracket of broad babes and lover boars it’s come down to the two bad boy antiheroes. 

It’s the semifinals of Fat Bear Week 2025, and everyone’s eager to know who will be crowned the chubbiest.

Hold on to your hats, adoring fans of flabulous, because defending Fat Bear Queen 128 Grazer competes today. 

128jr and 901 have enjoyed easy wins so far, but today two big-bellied boars enter the chat.
