The animal was praised for her ''radiant rolls'' of ''fabulous flab'' and took home the crown at Katmai National Park and Preserve's annual contest - which sees 12 of the park's plumpest bears pitted against each other.

Pictures of the contestants were posted to a Facebook group over the span of Fat Bear Week and the animal with the most public support would progress to the next round.

On Facebook, the park staff said Beadnose's ''radiant rolls were deemed by the voting public to be this year's most fabulous flab''.

''Our chubby champ has a few more weeks to chow down on lingering salmon carcasses before she heads up the mountains to dig herself a den and savour her victory.''
