This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think the penguins would learn to just swim away, and the bears would starve since they would need to expend a lot of effort for a small bird versus the calorie-dense seals they're used to.

To be fair, some penguins aren't exactly small

That is a king penguin, not even the tallest subspecies (emperors are taller), but what you're looking at is an optical illusion because the penguin is much closer to the camera than the humans.

Damn, well I'm leaving it up anyways.

plenty of polar bears eat salmon

Polar or grizzly bears... not sure salmon roams the north regions without rivers.

Polar bears can fish (in this video they're catching char, which is closely related to salmon), they're just not used to it.

If they can eat fish, they can probably figure out penguins as well, which honestly aren't too different from seals (slow on land, fast in the water).

the north regions have rivers, and bluberrys; both of which are natural food sources.

So I'm hearing that we move some seals first...

They'd need to ambush the flock when they were on land, ensuring they could corner several before the penguins make it to water
