Brown bears commonly feast on salmon in the Brooks River in Katmai National Park, gobbling them as they leap upstream over Brooks Falls to spawn. The park, nearly 300 miles southwest of Anchorage and inaccessible by road, is home to the annual “Fat Bear Week” contest celebrating the bears as they fatten up for the winter.

The team’s mascot Bouy was in the water near Brooks River in Alaska’s Katmai National Park back in June when a brown bear took a bit too much interest in what was going on, KIRO reported. In a post on X, “Bouy” wrote, “no trolls or bears were hurt in the making, always respect wildlife in their natural habitat.”
