Yogi Bear became animated yesterday when he outlined his reasons for promoting Transcendental Meditation in woodland areas.
Huckleberry Hound, reporting from Yellowstone country park, claims Yogi Bear has helped millions of critters to relieve stress using the technique with Alvin & the Chipmunks agreeing that TM was much needed after constant hassling from Park Rangers.
The "smarter than the average bear" is the distant cousin of the late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, spiritual leader of Jyotir Math, located in the Indian Himalayas.
He first introduced the TM technique to help reduce crime in the national park, in particular the theft of pic-a-nic baskets.
HH said: "Yogi is blissed out. In between defacating in the woods, he has taken time to transform the natural habitat and wildlife into something close to nature."
