Saber-Tooth Bears (also called Bearasauruses) are a species of prehistoric bears which existed during the Stone Age featured in the franchise of The Flintstones.
Background
They mostly resembled regular bears with brown fur except that they had large fangs like those of a saber-tooth cat. Others though were far larger and had blue and purple skin with dinosaur-like spots on their backs. They were quite dangerous and mainly lived in forests, often antagonizing campers.
Fred had several incidents with these troublesome creatures in both the original show and The Flintstone Comedy Show.

- Yogi would be referenced again as an in-universe cartoon character in Hollyrock-a-Bye Baby created by Hanna-Barbarian Studios.
