Well… I finally found a box that was basically lost in the basement for… well years at this point. Guys, I might be very late on this, but thanks to @Aoxhwjfoavdlhsvfpzha I can now proudly proclaim my support for BEARS!

I’m curious to know whether armaments are included in this theoretical debate or are they just clubbing each other to death with fish?

Reasonable armaments sure, but no bears/penguins with guns
If a penguin finds a particularly pointy stick, sure

So natural armaments rather than supplied by Uzi?
Anything a bear/penguin could reasonably craft/find/otherwise obtain and also reasonably utilize
I suppose if we supplied the uzi’s and aren’t assuming they manufactured or found them on their own, that might work
But you’re gonna need to figure out what exactly reasonably led to uzi signing that contract

We would have to manufacturer these without trigger guards and oversized triggers for dexterity.
Can we reasonably assume they can craft catapult guns?
If the war is a nuclear apocalyptic scenario and these are survivors then for sure they would have to make rudimentary weapons themselves. If it’s a result of melting icecaps and the theatre of war is say canada, then I would reasonably expect some arms dealer with no scruple to have negotiated the Uzi contract on both sides. That’s capitalism i guess.
Of course some rogue soldiers could have sold them stolen m16s but i think they wouldnstruggle using long barreled weapons.

Are you implying that the bears and/or penguins are providing currency for the weapons? Or that unscrupulous arms dealers are so bored in an apocalyptic scenario that they’re willing to spend the capital to fund an animal war?
I also appreciate the implication that nuclear apocalypse be dammed, uzi will still be operating as normal
I have never seem them do this, but I haven’t yet found a zoologist that would rather answer my questions than pursue a restraining order

I work with bears every day. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that those little buggers are EXTREMELY clever. There’s a reason why bear-proof containers are so annoying. The overlap between the smartest bears and dumbest humans is sadly large. The penguins don’t stand a chance, even with particularly pointy sticks.

I would have to assume payment in resources by the winning side. Assuming that whoever wins will conquer certain assets and / or land, the penguins would have ro pledge bearskin as payment. The bears quite likely will have recourse to the fish population that the penguins will no longer be around to feed off. Therefore, any arms dealers wanting to get in on the action will need to have a side bsuiness in fur trade and fisheries.
If however, the fight with tools was more primitive, the bear’s salmon would be more bigger and thus a bettwr weapon than the herring that the penguins would be using.
I’m assuming Alaska or Canada region would be whwre this warfare would be taking place.

I guess that would depend on who the invading force is?
If the bears are the agressors, then you would assume they were trying to conquer the Penguins home base of Antartica

Not sure if it really fits, but it’s been a while for a post in here, so…

Well on that basis, forget my previous comment as I’m having to google a lot of this shit since I dont really know that much about penguins. I therefore change my theory to that of Antartica melting to such a stage that the penguins would need a new land mass and invading South America.
