description: Stephen Fry first travelled to Peru to investigate Paddington Bear's origins in the BBC documentary, Paddingon The Early Years. However, the surprise star of the show turned out to be a real live bear named Yogi. He was a Spectacled Bear--so called due to the markings around the eyes--but had been captured by the people of a small village high in the Andes and had lived in a tiny cage, barely large enough for him to turn around in, for two years. This was the beginning of Stephen's obsession with Spectacled Bears and their destiny.
