Penguins in Antarctica, bears in the Arctic, what if they swapped homes?

I clearly remember being asked trivia when I was a child: Why don't polar bears eat penguins? I also clearly remember that I didn't come up at that time.

Since then, I have deeply remembered the penguins in Antarctica, the bears in the Arctic, which they have never had the opportunity to meet in the wild, and of course they may have seen each other in the polar pavilion. A terrible question suddenly came to mind, if polar bears came to the Antarctic continent and saw a group of cute penguins on the shore, each with their own baby or egg, would the polar bear be very happy?

The poles of the earth give people the most intuitive feeling of "cold", and there will be polar day and night, the direct point of the sun can reach the southernmost Tropic of Cancer every year, that is, around December 21, and the northernmost Tropic of Cancer is about June 22. Although they are all relatively cold, the degree of cold is not the same, the average annual temperature in Antarctica can reach minus 50 degrees Celsius, while the average annual temperature in the Arctic is about minus 20 degrees Celsius.

In this way, the South Pole is colder than the North Pole, and it should be the warmest region on the planet. It's all ice and snow, so why is there such a difference in temperature?

Human beings divide the earth into seven continents: Asia, Africa, Antarctica, South America, North America, Europe, and Oceania; Four oceans: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic.

The Antarctic is a continent, while the North Pole is an ocean, but because of the perennial low temperatures, the Arctic is mostly covered with ice as if it were land. When I was in school, we all learned that the specific heat capacity of water is slower to heat up and cooler, and the heat capacity is larger, while the land heats up faster and cools faster, and the permafrost of the large ice sheet on the Antarctic continent reflects a large amount of solar radiation energy. As a result, the overall Antarctic continent is cooler than the Arctic.

Animals living in the Antarctic and the Arctic have different habits, and looking at the animal world, you can see that the male emperor penguins stay on the central land to gather together to incubate eggs and become a wet nurse, while the female emperor penguins go to the distant ocean to find food, which can take months together due to the long distance. Polar bears, on the other hand, live directly on the ice, and when the ice melts in the summer, polar bears float on the broken ice.

In terms of temperature, polar bears may need to grow fat earlier to keep out the cold, while penguins need less thick fur. Polar bears are carnivores, such as seals, walruses, beluga whales, and fish, and if you arrive on the Antarctic continent, you can add a penguin to your recipe. And penguins on land are definitely easy to catch.

Penguins, on the other hand, may not adapt to the North Pole, and they are fine in winter, but in summer, when the sea ice melts, there is no place to hatch their eggs. Penguins can be eaten in the North and South poles, in short, they are fish in the ocean.

But relatively speaking, polar bears belong to the top predators of the polar regions, bringing them to the Antarctic continent, this "invasive species" may lead to the extinction of Antarctic native animals, after all, there is no companion on the road of evolution, and artificially pulled together, it will naturally cause ecological disasters. It's like sending lions and tigers to Australia, which may eat all the local animals and go to extinction.

Penguins in Antarctica, bears in the Arctic, two different creatures, each with its own characteristics and habits. Penguins live in the Antarctic and polar bears know that they live in the Arctic by their names, and if they switch homes with each other, they will not get used to it or even perish.

The environment between the Antarctic and the North Pole is still very similar, and both are extremely cold, so penguins and polar bears have adapted to the environment there, and even if they swap homes, it will not affect them much.

If they swap homes, then the penguins will definitely not be able to adapt to the bear's family, because their living habits are different, and animals like bears will not be able to adapt if they go to the place where the penguins live.

Swapping homes is also very counterproductive, and penguins can be a good meal in the Arctic. Because there is a big animal in such a crack in the ground, which is the sea lion, and it eats penguins. Then the polar bear will also eat some animals in Antarctica, and there will be no food.

Forehead ......Because one of them is the southern hemisphere and the other is the northern hemisphere, they are used to living in the Antarctic and the North Pole, just like people, if you are in the south, what will happen if you go to the north? There can be many symptoms due to soil and water adaptation, but if a polar bear goes to the penguin's place where it lives, it is possible to die, and the penguin is no different. Hope you understand.

Polar bears adapt to life in the Arctic and do not adapt to the environment of the Antarctic.

This can not be in the same place with penguins.

You can't have both fish and bear's paws, the same thing.

There are no bears in the Antarctic and no penguins in the Arctic.

Before the Antarctic continent drifted away from other continents, bears had not yet evolved. Penguins, on the other hand, enter the Antarctic continent through Cape Horn in Argentina and then slowly adapt to the Antarctic climate. It should be said that there are no polar bears in the Antarctic and no penguins in the Arctic, which just illustrates the chance and unrepeatability of evolution, and the polar bear and the brown bear are actually the same ancestor.

Antarctica is the last continent on earth to be discovered, the only continent that has not been inhabited by people, known as the seventh continent, the entire Antarctic continent is covered by a huge ice sheet, but there are still some tenacious animals who have chosen this desolate continent to survive for generations, such as emperor penguins, Weddell seals, sea lions, etc.

South Pole. Penguins, known as the ship of the sea, are one of the oldest migratory birds, and they probably settled in Antarctica before the Earth put on ice armor. There are 18 species of penguins in the world, most of which are found in the Southern Hemisphere. It belongs to the order Penguin, the penguin family. <

Penguins live in Antarctica. Penguins, known as the ship of the sea, are one of the oldest migratory birds, and they probably settled in Antarctica before the Earth put on ice armor. There are 18 species of penguins in the world, most of which are found in the Southern Hemisphere.

It belongs to the order Penguin, the penguin family. It is characterized by the inability to fly, the feet are born in the lowest part of the body, so it is in an upright position, plantar (other birds land on the ground with their toes), the forelimbs are fin-shaped, the feathers are short to reduce friction and turbulence, and a layer of air is retained between the feathers to keep warm. The back is black and the belly is white.

The main differences between species are the color of the head and the size of the individual.

2. The environment of Antarctica and Arctic is almost the same, why don't polar bears eat penguins? The truth scares you.
