We're about a week away from March Madness, which features 68 college teams competing for a national championship. As you probably know, fans of the tournament follow along by filling out brackets – and guessing who the winners will be along the way.
An animal welfare charity called Four Paws USA is getting in on the action as well. But instead of a March Madness tournament, they're hosting a "March Napness" competition, which features pictures of 23 bears from bear sanctuaries in Switzerland, Austria, Kosovo, Germany, Bulgaria, and Ukraine.
People are invited to log onto the "March Napness" website – and guess which bears will be the last to wake up from hibernation.
So far three bears have woken up – Brumca, Erich and Mark. That leaves 20 bears still sleeping –and still in the competition for the title of Sleepiest Bear 2024.
May the best napper win!
