	The '''[[Bears\|Bear]] Holding a [[Sharks\|Shark]]''' (also called the '''Bear-Shark''') is a wooden cut-out of a bear standing on its hind legs, holding a shark above its head.

The cut-out lurks [[Behind the Fence\|behind the fence]] of [[Strong Badia]].

	The Bear Holding a Shark is actually one of Strong Badia's ~~"~~security counter-measures~~"~~, as [[Strong Bad]] puts it; whenever [[The Cheat]] touches the [[Tire]], the Bear Holding a Shark pops up after an electric shock comes from the tire. For reasons that are never really explained, The Cheat seems to have a strong phobia of bears holding sharks. The Bear-Shark also plays the part of ~~"~~headhunters~~"~~ on Strong Bad's [[Riverquest Safariventure]]. It is ~~"~~scared off~~"~~ by firing a [[Starting pistol\|starting pistol]] in its general direction twice.

	It has been featured in a documentary detailing its roots in [[History according to Strong Bad\|Strong Badian lore]]. The myth/legend originated as a [[Strong Badia's Seven Elemental Spirits\|British distance runner holding a fish with a 'fro wig]], and supposedly through years of bad storytelling and the [[Chinese whispers\|telephone game]], evolved into the Bear-Shark we know today. Apparently, [[Homestar Runner]] and his ~~"~~[[Dogs\|dog]]~~"~~ [[Pom Pom]] were walking in the woods when they saw (and caught footage of) the ~~"~~very scary monster[[M'n\|m'n]]~~"~~, who suspiciously had white feet with blue soles. [[Strong Sad]] did not believe the myth/legend very much, and dismissed the Bear Holding a Shark as either a weather balloon or a foreign exchange student.

	In [[Fan Costumes '06]], two young women (referred to as ~~"~~Ho-ties~~"~~ by Strong Bad) are shown. One of them wears the Bear Holding a Shark t-shirt, with a frown on her face, while the other one is actually dressed as the Bear Holding a Shark, with a full head bear mask, bear arms, and is holding a stuffed shark over her head. Strong Bad remarks, ~~"~~I like the upgrade to Bear Holding a Tiger Shark... Or was that just like... the only shark they had left at the aquarium gift shop?~~"~~ The Cheat is not scared of this Bear Holding a Shark.

	The Bear Holding a Shark has a small part in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] as the Western Lowland Grizzlysharkasaurusbot holding a shark. When traveling to Strong Borneo, it is activated by Dangeresque and Renaldo, but it stopped with the Nunchuk Gun. It was burninated along with the rest of Strong Badia in [[8-Bit is Enough]], but was still left in one piece.
