480 King Otis is winning at life. Slept in late this spring again, pulled many all nighters chowing down 25-30 salmon, and took epic naps, and is looking great. Enough that beautiful Holly and Grazer have been hanging around the wise one. I just want him back again next year. Love that old bear. ❤❤🐻🐻
The music, from the first shout of the horns, had me smiling ! What an inspired choice. I watched every frame, remembering the wonders of this past season at Brooks Falls. Wonderful video, GEO...Thank you !!!

I don't think 503 is eligible because he only showed up late in fall. As I understand it they need to see the bear from early in the season through fall to see the transformation.
@@geo_animalvideos I think it's pretty well established that 503 didn't show up at all until September. I mean pretty much everyone on the cam not to mention Fitz and the Rangers who appeared with Mike On play by Plays knew that he hadn't shown up yet then all of the sudden he appeared in September pretty healthy and fat looking.
Grazer, Single and FAT BEAR 2023 CHAMP!🎉
Can’t wait until 2024 Fat Bear Week now. I’m hooked. 🐻🐻🐻

He's not the King by mistake 😉 I'd bet money on his return for 2024 🥰👑 Looks Great!
I agree ! Love my King !
Otis Otis
I agree I have a strong feeling he will be back 2024
Love that swat by Bucky.

So long as Otis is alive he will always be king.

Excellent video, as always, Geo! Looking forward to seeing who's going to make the FBW bracket. Are you going to make a vid for them, as well?
Tried to include everyone I think could make bracket! Tough though, hope didn't miss anyone. I'll probably do a final 4 video or something like that 🙂
@@geo_animalvideos That would be great! How about We Will Rock Your for the final four?
This is new to me…what are the #’s flashing by each bear…tag #’s?

Need a better photo of 806Jr, he was one HUGE cub. Some called him The Tank, he was so big.
Big Fat Bears
I don't think 503 is eligible because he only showed up late in fall. As I understand it they need to see the bear from early in the season through fall to see the transformation.
Was hoping the Rangers spotted him off cam, same with 602 who is huge! We'll soon find out!

Boy 879 is a big bear.
