Shikaka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shikaka is a fictional albino bat featured in the movie Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls.
This great white bat is a sacred animal for both the Wachati and Wachootoo tribes of Namibia. Whenever its name is spoken, the tribesmen must bow. Its name is presumably a contraction of two slang terms for feces, "shit" and "caca". The bat's guano plays a prominent role in the plot of the film.
Shikaka has become a point of contention between the two tribes, since it is meant as a wedding present from the Wachati Princess who is set to wed the Wachoootoo Prince. So, when the sacred beast disappears, pet detective Ace Ventura is called to find it. This would be simpler, though, if Ace weren't terribly afraid of bats.
