    I wonder what would happen if we transplanted some penguins from Antarctica to the arctic. Would they survive?

    Maybe some of the more endangered ones could live and thrive up there, and then become a second food source for the polar bears so they don’t starve now that there isn’t as much ice to hunt seals on.

    It’s not like there much of an ecosystem up there that an invasive species can fuck up like the toads down in Australia.

      Assuming they survived would probably fuck with fish populations and thereby the predators of fish and the predators of predators of fish.
