- This article is about the polar bear. For the story, see Shako (story), for the series, see Shako (series).
Shako was a polar bear who swallowed a capsule that it found while investigating the remains of a USAF jet that had crashed on the Arctic ice[1].
Shako considered seals to be a delicacy and would hide his black nose with his white paws to camouflage himself when hunting them[1].
Shako had a mate and two or three cubs[2]. This mate and cubs were killed by CIA paratroopers, including Marx and Spencer[2].
