All hail the new Fat Bear Champion

Here is a 195-word summary of the news article: Katmai National Park's annual "Fat Bear Week" competition has crowned Bear #32, also known as "Chunk," as the 2025 champion. Chunk, a 1,200-pound brown bear, captured voters' hearts with his perseverance despite a broken jaw that is healing but likely now a long-term disability. The brown bears of Katmai need to pack on pounds each fall to survive the winter, when they can lose up to a third of their stored body fat. This year, the bears were able to gain extra weight thanks to an abundant salmon run in the park, which is home to one of the world's largest and healthiest wild sockeye salmon populations. Despite facing threats from record-high temperatures in previous years, Katmai National Park continues to host the popular Fat Bear Week contest, a March Madness-style tournament that allows the public to vote for their favorite chunky bear. Even with the event concluded, viewers can still catch the action on the park's live Brown Bear Cam.
