Everyone watching the Brooks Falls bear cams this year including the experts over at explore.org have been a bit confused and I think even more delighted to see this going on.

Happy Fat Bear Friday!! We made it, all! 32 Chunk arrived at Brooks Falls last night per a picture from a lodge staffer, so to celebrate, here's the Pear-Shaped Prince himself!
It's time for a new Champion of Fatness. Time for a bear who has put in the work day after day, night after night, season after season; dedicating herself to corpulence. It's time to crown a new Queen. It's time for Grazer.
This Fall, vote 128 Grazer for Fat Bear Week Champion!

Let's go ahead and start off the Fat Bear Friday festivities by visiting one of my favourite locations, Brooks Falls over at Katmai National Park and Preserve and as always a big thank you to Explore.org for keeping the bearcams up and running allowing us to watch the annual chonkening in real time.
I do believe this may be the first I've seen of 164/Shower Bear, can't wait to see more either as the race to get chonky continues all the way up till fat bear week

I captured this with my Nikon D800E SLR camera using a Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 lens. I was at the Falls Platform with a view looking to the northeast at the Brooks Falls while observing brown bears in Katmai National Park. Here I zoomed in with the focal length to minimize much of the waterfalls (but have enough as a little backdrop) and focus on this one bear at the top of the falls as it waited for salmon to make the jump upward.
