Skinny Bears everywhere honour the Salmon.
👀 Oh, it’s again? Cute. Meanwhile, salmon would like to remind you that without them, it’d just be Sad Skinny Bear Week™.
That’s right, those fluffy icons of the internet? Basically freeloaders dining on the all-you-can-eat salmon buffet. Bears get the spotlight, salmon get…eaten. Constantly. And people celebrate it!?!?!?!
And yet, salmon still show up every season to do literally everything:�
🌲 Fertilize forests with their bodies.�
🐋 Feed orcas and other important species.�
💧 Power healthy watersheds.�
🌿 Kick back in eelgrass + kelp nurseries.
And this is why we work so hard to ensure they have healthy waterways, eelgrass meadows, watersheds, and forests to call “home”. So yeah, bears get the glory—but salmon are the keystone species carrying the entire ecosystem on their slippery little backs.
This year, skip the bear hype and help us celebrate the real MVPs in our Skinny Bear Week Salmon Bracket. Cast your vote, honor the fish, and remember: no salmon = no fat bears. Keep an eye on our stories for updates as we see who is crowned the winner.
