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.

You may find you struggle with step 1.

Also step 2. $4MM is not enough to run the kind of vessel needed to go to the poles for the length of time needed.

I'd say that if all you want to do is scare the shit out of some scientists in Antarctica you probably only need 1 polar bear

Yup, and there's a lot less risk of complete disruption to the normal food chain. One polar bear will eventually die, a dozen will probably take over.

Would work until the penguin pop. is too small and then they start dying out again

would have to be quite a few bears to avoid heavy inbreeding

No, you must keep the bloodline pure.

Okay, McPoyle.

Apparently it is 12 creatures, 6 male and 6 female, that is needed for a genetically diverse enough group to repopulate.

A couple of birth defects wouldn't matter much if you're walking around a penguin buffet. They'd be fine.

Sounds reasonable.
