A looming government shutdown threatens to claw its way into a crowd-pleasing Alaska tradition<\/a>: Fat Bear Week.<\/p>\n

Alaska’s most-watched popularity contest, Fat Bear Week involves residents picking their favorite fat brown bear who’s been stocking up for winter by noshing on salmon in Katmai National Park & Preserve. Viewers of the bears online vote in tournament-style brackets for those they want to advance to the next round until a champion is crowned in the weeklong contest.<\/p>\n

More than 1 million votes were cast last year.<\/p>\n

Problem is, national park employees count and release those votes \u2014 and a shutdown won’t allow them to do so because it would trigger a ban on using the park’s official social media accounts for as long as the government is closed.<\/p>\n

“Should a lapse happen, we will need to postpone Fat Bear Week,” Cynthia Hernandez, a park spokesperson, said in an email to The Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If Congress does not reach an agreement to fund the federal government, operations will shut down Sunday. This year\u2019s Fat Bear Week contest is set to begin Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The National Park Service estimates that 2,200 brown bears inhabit the park, a number exceeding the people who live on the peninsula. They have six to eight months to eat a year\u2019s worth of food and ensure their survival through winter, according to the service.<\/p>\n

The Katmai brown bears are famous for standing at Brooks Falls, catching sockeye salmon in their mouths to fatten up for the winter. And they’re a huge draw for the park<\/a> on the Alaska Peninsula, the arm of land extending from Alaska\u2019s southwest corner toward the Aleutian Islands about 250 miles southwest of Anchorage.<\/p>\n

The spectacle draws so many visitors that three viewing stands have been erected near the falls, along with a bridge and boardwalk over the Brooks River to allow visitors to avoid the bears.<\/p>\n

Several cameras operated by explore.org provide the live streams of the bears at Katmai.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
