Yosemite Sam is a Looney Tunes character. Yosemite Sam made his debut in "Hare Trigger". He bears a resemblance to Red Ryder, a cowboy character in "Buckaroo Bugs", which could be seen as a prototype. Michael Maltese claims that he made Yosemite in the likeness of director Friz Freleng. When Elmer Fudd, Bugs Bunny's first enemy, proved to be too much of a softy for his target, Friz decided he needed a tougher opponent so Sam was created. Yosemite Sam is one of Bugs' toughest antagonists. Yosemit
