Rocked by a voting scandal, this year's Fat Bear Week was unlike any other. 747 took the crown after beating out newcomer 901.
. A "skilled and efficient angler," 747 has sat at the top of the bear hierarchy in the park since last summer, and got there not because of aggression, but rather just his size.
747 captured the title over contestant 901, who was competing in her first Fat Bear Week. The runner-up is known to defend her fishing spots from other bears, despite being only six years old. She's independent, assertive and occasionally mischievous, but doesn't like to"play fight" like other bears her age.
