ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - Well it’s getting more likely Fat Bear Nation, we could see an explosive end for Fat Bear Week 2025.

A duo that’s stolen hearts has fallen, but we have some legendary bears shaping up to take the title of the Fat Bear Champion.

In the last round of voting last week, the Bear Sisters -- 909 and 910 -- were both eliminated from being crowned the fattest bear on the Brooks River in Alaska.

While these two bears weren’t facing each other on the sheet, they were facing heavy competition.

SO WHO’S OUT? THE SISTERS.

909

After gaining plenty of traction this year, this noticeable bruin finally fell on Friday. She couldn’t overcome the strong lead of her competitor -- 128 Grazer.

The finally tally was 909 with a little over 38,000 votes. But, Grazer cleared over 90,0000.

While she won’t be crowned the fattest this year, she’ll continue to be a force on the Brooks.

Let’s talk about this gal. One endearing characteristic? She loves to scream -- long-time bear watchers say she will yell at any other bear for any possible reason.

As one fan says, “Look at her wrong? Get yelled at.”

She’s built for fishing, the proof is in the vote tallies. She lost her cubs earlier this year -- and turned immediately to fishing.

Let’s talk some trivia.

She also was in the running against her own daughter. Her daughter is 609. But, here’s a wildcard -- 609 was actually raised by 909’s sister 910.

When the sisters had cubs about the same time, they became a blended family -- and when Mama kicked her out of the house 609 moved in with Auntie 910. For a year, 609 grew and lived under the tutelage of Aunt 910 for a whole other year before moving out on her own.

910

And now to the other half of the sister duo -- 910.

She just couldn’t get the votes, the smallest vote tally of any bear on Friday -- only about 23,000.

While she may not be competing anymore, she had captured plenty of fans for her motherly instincts and her lineage. These two are daughters of a previous Fat Bear Champ -- Beadnose.

910’s mom was the first round bruin to be crowned Fattest Bear after the OG Fat Bear Otis.

She’s known for her famous “head throw” when fishing. She’s got her own style. Her own approach. Very demure.

910 has grizzled brown fur. She’s already raised her cubs this year, and is free-fishing for herself. And, she could really pack on the pounds this year.

BUT, that could be a short lived fat bear summer. She could become a mother again soon.

And she’s a pro at salmon fishing at Brooks Falls.

FBW insiders say she’s as skilled an angler as they come at the Falls.

SO WHO WON? LEGENDS.

128 GRAZER (Two-Time Champion)

Fat Bear Nation, we could be seeing a Triple Crown of Fat Bear wins. 128 Grazer is a fat bear, she’s fierce and she’s won two years in a row.

Fat Bear officials literally call her “a big deal.” Of course she is, she’s the back-to-back fattest bear of the Brooks for 2023 and 2024.

Could this be a three-peat?

How do we know which bear is Grazer? Blonde ears and light brown fur. She’s also a boss. She has been known to attack other bears and being a Momma.

She’s a veteran of Fat Bear Week, as well as raising cubs. She often gets plenty of space from other bears, because she will protect her territory and babies.

Her fishing technique is worth looking at -- she’s big on finding salmon when she needs to and at times avoiding the famous Brooks Falls if there’s plenty of fish everywhere.

This girl boss is a true Alaskan queen of the bears. We could see her rule the river with her cub, who took Fat Bear Jr. this year.

Could this Queen Bear be the leader of a fat dynasty?

856

The Boss Bear, even in old age, is a force to be reckoned with. He cleared the most vote numbers on Friday -- well over 101,000. 856 trampled his competitor, 910, who only cleared 23,000.

He’s a fan favorite moving steadily ahead.

Now -- this Boss Bear, watchers say has been a force for decades. From the age of 11, and his massive frame has reigned for over a decade.

He likes to scare other bears by creeping up on them and giving them a jump. Some fans think he finds it fun in his old age to scare the younger bears.

Famous for his lick-lipping motion and his past shows of strength, 856 is getting older. The Beast of the Brooks may still be a top bear -- but he’s showing his age.

He was once one of the top dogs, but in his old age, he picks fights. He’s more patient these days, and finds ways to show his dominance outside of using all his energy.

FBW insiders say that even though the younger bears may have more mass, 856’s intelligence and adaptability might keep him in the running for top bear of this year.

WHO’S BATTLING TODAY?

One of the legends of the Brooks will not move ahead today, it’s maybe the most consequential of all Fat Bear Week days this special week.

Today, we are going to see 856 and the legendary Grazer go head-to-head -- and only one Fat Bear will move ahead.

On the flip side, could we see rising star Floatato move ahead, or will fan-favorite Chunk move on to the final round?

YOU DECIDE. VOTE!

FAT BEAR WEEK has been around since 2014, when a Park Ranger used pictures to show how the bears grow in size for winter. It also is a way to help support the bear population and research at Katmai. Fat equals survival for these bears, according to the NPS. These are wild animals, not pets, and should be treated with respect.

The Katmai Conservancy has an Otis Fund which raises money during Fat Bear Week – the fund supports the park and preserve’s brown bears and salmon.
