Boo-Boo Bear is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon character on The Yogi Bear Show. Boo-Boo is a shorter anthropomorphic bear who wears a blue bowtie. Boo-Boo is Yogi Bear's constant companion (not his son, as sometimes believed), and often acts as his conscience.{{cite book |last1=Rovin |first1=Jeff |title=The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Cartoon Animals |date=1991 |publisher=Prentice Hall Press |isbn=0-13-275561-0 |access-date=8 April 2020 |url=https://archive.org/details/illustratedencyc00rovi/page/32/mode/2up/ |page=32}} He tries (usually unsuccessfully) to keep Yogi from doing things he should not do, and also to keep Yogi from getting into trouble with Ranger Smith{{cite web |url=http://www.cartoonscrapbook.com/Y/yogibear1958.htm |website=Cartoon Scrapbook |access-date=2009-12-18 |archive-date=2013-11-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131115122534/http://www.cartoonscrapbook.com/Y/yogibear1958.htm |url-status=usurped | title=Yogi Bear}} – often saying, "Mr. Ranger isn't gonna like this, Yogi." It is not readily apparent whether Boo-Boo is a juvenile bear with a precocious intellect, or simply an adult bear who is short of stature.
