"Only if we understand will we care, only if we care will we help, only if we help shall all be saved. That is our challenge: to save the natural world with all its glorious and diverse life forms, taking them with us into the next century to share with our children and theirs." Dr. Jane Goodall

All hail the Fat Bear King! 32 Chunk takes the prize with his "post office size" shape. And he did it with a broken jaw. I am not sure he would have survived if it were a fierce food compete year, grateful for the bounty of nature. bsky.app/profile/expl...

She's one of my all time favorite bears, and the only bear that is a verb. Grazer is HUGE this year... Today was a tough vote. bsky.app/profile/expl...

We all have a thirst for wonder. It's a deeply human quality. Science and religion are both bound up with it. What I'm saying is, you don't have to make stories up, you don't have to exaggerate. There's wonder and awe enough in the real world. Nature's a lot better at inventing wonders than we are.

Fat Bear Week begins! Vote Floatis/The Floatato! -Hasn't caused any problems (that we know of) -Exhibits the perfect lightbulb shape -Sleeps it off in the river -Has a flair for modeling his chonky bear belly (Possibly NSFW) bsky.app/profile/expl...

They are coming for public lands again. Please take a moment to voice your protest. And please...vote these clowns out of office at every opportunity. www.regulations.gov/commenton/BL...

The number of bears flat out falling asleep in the river this year is heart warming and hilarious. There is so much food they don't have to compete..it has been non stop play and snoozing after the feasting. files.explore.org/sn/2025/8/6/...

We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. - Carl Sagan

The cutest couple in Katmai got a close up in the camp today. My heart so wants to go see them in person. They were playing bitey face in the river all day yesterday bsky.app/profile/moun...

I will have my bags for sale! Phoenix will have a ton of Unicorn Bellydance Supplies close out merch..come look at the shiny, the flowy, and enjoy some great company!

503 Cubadult is back!! He's the reason why Bear 435 Holly is my favorite. mashable.com/article/fat-...

The Queen -Grazer.

Our first shiny rock! Amazonite from Colorado. Has a cool quartz cap on the end. Only took 3 months lol

If some factions can do unheard of and unprecedented things to hurt people and the earth and get away with it, maybe other factions could begin doing unheard of and unprecedented things to help people and the earth.

There is much going on to cause worry..but to quote Dr. Malcom from Jurrassic Park..life always finds a way. Taking comfort in watching Biggie napping by the river, watched over by momma Grazer.

If I had to pick my demise, it would be getting just one single boop on that adorable snoot. files.explore.org/sn/2025/6/22...

Just learned that Brooks Falls and the platforms are all wheelchair accessible and now I need to win the lottery so I can so see my beloved bears in person....

A well worn shirt today to celebrate the start of fat bear cameras being turned on!

A bit stormy out..

Tomorrow!!! Grazer and Biggie are already out there, it appears Chunk has a broken jaw..so the season is starting off with some drama. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Eig...

Good boyo at the RC race track. He's off duty and enjoying pets and snuggles from all the adults and kids lol. He'd like to eat the cars though

Every time the swamp cooler gets hooked up, this scene plays in my head. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJdz...

Goodest boy in training..

You know what is a bad look for PRIDE? Treating the current president and his accomplice like they are a gay couple and laughing about it. It's not funny...it's homophobia. It hurts real people fighting for equality. Don't get me started on the "girl fight" thing.

Glad to see Mr. Fitz will be back on the Katmai cams this year! 5 days before we get to watch for our beloved Brooks Falls Bears! I was worried with all the funding cuts and firing that we wouldn't have it this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWI0...
