Beefy brown bear 480 Otis has been named the winner of Alaska's popular Fat Bear Week contest, an annual competition comparing the pre-hibernation weight gain of the largest inhabitants of Katmai national park in the south-west of the state.

The heavyweight champ, who has won the competition three times previously, was declared the winner late on Tuesday, beating runner-up 151 Walker by more than 6,000 public votes.
