A bear compared to the "Michelin Man" has been crowned the winner of a Fat Bear competition that became an internet sensation.

Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska asked people to vote on its Facebook page for their favourite rotund grizzly.

The contest featured 12 brown bears who had grown in size after gorging on salmon as they prepare to hibernate during the winter months.

After more than 187,000 votes, a grandmother bear called Holly was announced as the winner of the contest.

"All hail Holly, whose healthy heft will help her hibernate until the spring," the park said in a Facebook post.

"Long live the Queen of Corpulence!"

Katmai Park ranger Naomi Boak, who managed the competition, said: "She's just a great bear. When she doesn't have cubs, she looks like the Michelin Man."

She's won before! In both 2019 and 2024. Let's go HOLLY! @grizzly she's still eligible to have cubs. ?

Fatties are saving the west.

Fat people are stronger due to constantly having to carry around more weight.

What better, fatties make everyone else's live better. It boost the self-esteem of skinnyfat people to look at the mobidly obese. Fat people are loud and vocal, them fighting for fat acceptance means they won't come for us next while a literal bulwark of fat protects us.

Fat people help the medical system because it they die from heart failure before reaching old age and becoming really expensive. If it weren't for the existence of fat people, western healthcare wouldn't exist in its current form.

People of size are equally capable of intellectual and physical activity.

Today, the US remains one of the fattest places on the planet and that is what is signlehandedly made america an agricultural powerhouse. Fatties managed to successfully boost the GPD due to inherent boost to consumption that their condition creates.

The truth is, any middle income economy and above can support a family's basic needs with a single person's income. This is only possible because fat people force a country to overproduce and become more efficient.

Leave the apple to the insects, you sick thincels. It might save your ecology from total collapse.

People of size define the west. Lack of fatties caused the chinese to succumb to famine in the millions in just one bad government, setting them back by decades. Only fat feminism is real feminism.

We need to eradicate the starvation moders to secure the future of our children and our nation. Fat is beatiful! Fatala is beatiful! Fatlet is beatiful. Two legged pig is beautiful!

I stand with palestine. My fat belly will deflect Israeli bullets from their children.

I try to eat lots of fibre every day, including plenty of fruit and veg, I have a varied diet, yes I do eat chocolate bars/takeaways/ice cream but who doesnt? Some of the things I eat might still be classed as "bad" by diet culture for instance I have these oat bars that also contain a bit of sugar. To me that's fairly sensible as it's got oats but probably not to everyone. Or I might have salted nuts over plain. Other people do make me laugh with some of their supposed knowledge of what's healthy as well and what's not though. "Can't have that it's got carbs!" Etc. I do try to eat sensibly where I can but I never think about calories any more. I eat what I want to eat without the guilt but I aim for fibrous foods where I can. I think other macros/micros come more naturally to me such as protein. I remember when I was trying to lose weight years ago the requirement they tried telling me for protein was insane. I realise now I probably have enough. I eat home cooked meals most day that have lots of nutrition but yeah because of my weight and the fact I had chocolate bars in the cupboard I must eat chocolate all day every day lol
