背包熊以微弱优势赢得年度肥熊周冠军

20岁的棕熊背包熊（Bear 89）在阿拉斯加卡特迈国家公园举办的年度"肥熊周"公众投票中获胜1。这只体重约1200磅（544公斤）的熊以仅5000票的优势击败亚军舞蹈皇后熊1。该比赛今年共吸引超过230万次在线投票，其中最后一轮投票超过20万次1。

肥熊周是一项传统赛事，旨在庆祝棕熊在冬眠前通过捕食三文鱼增肥的能力，公园内近2000只棕熊参与其中1。背包熊自2012年直播摄像机安装以来一直被公众关注1。这头获胜者的母亲霍莉曾在第五年的比赛中赢得冠军1。值得注意的是，2022年投票中曾发现存在舞弊行为，涉及虚拟投票箱被填充1。

A 20-year-old brown bear known as Backpack, officially designated Bear 89, has claimed victory in Alaska's Katmai National Park annual Fat Bear Week competition 1. The contest, which celebrates brown bears' remarkable ability to gain weight by fishing for salmon before hibernation, drew over 2.3 million online votes, with more than 200,000 ballots cast in the final round 1. Backpack secured the title by a slim margin of approximately 5,000 votes over the runner-up, Dancing Queen bear 1.

Backpack weighs approximately 1,200 pounds and has been monitored by park cameras since 2012 1. The bear's mother, Holly, known as the Corpse Queen, won the competition in its fifth year 1. The Fat Bear Week tradition engages the public in voting on one of nearly 2,000 brown bears that inhabit the park 1. The competition has previously faced challenges with voting integrity, with fraudulent entries discovered during the 2022 competition 1.
