All this hard work is about to pay off.

By the time they settle into their dens for winter, Katmai's brown bears can weigh 1,000 pounds or more. All those salmon they catch help them build the fat reserves they’ll live on during hibernation, when they will go months without eating.

Yawning after a three-day-weekend? Feel like you need more sleep? The bears will get plenty on your behalf.

In Katmai, bears spend roughly five to seven months tucked away in their dens, living off the fat reserves they worked hard to build up during summer and fall.

Fat Bear Week may have ended, but the bears' work doesn't stop.

As winter gets closer, they’re still feeding, gaining weight, and making the most of every salmon, berry, and other food they can find. Their grind doesn't stop, and neither does ours. Stick around for year-long coverage of Katmai and a continuous effort to protect and preserve its wild nature!

Thanks to you, we did it. This Fat Bear Week, you helped raise more than $500,000 for The Otis Fund, all generously matched by our friends at .

Every post about your favorite bear, every share of The Otis Fund, every donation no matter the size. It all came together to build something bigger than any one of us could do alone.

Your support helps keep Katmai wild and makes it possible to protect this special place and the bears, salmon, and people who depend on it for years to come.

Thank you for showing up for Katmai, for these bears, and for nature. We're so thankful for all of you, Friends.
