While the penguin army could easily outnumber the bear cavalry (let's also not forget the beer cavalry that has saved many a party), I doubt the birds can really handle those weapons well enough. Thus, the bear cavalry tears into tasty little gibbets.

Assume that penguins outnumber bears a squidjillion to one.

Assume that bears will eat an infinite number more penguins than penguins eat bears.

Assume that one in six penguins will actually hold onto their rifles whilst being eaten.

Assume that one in ten of those rifles will go off at some point during digestion.

A few math tricks, carry the three, antidifferentiate...

When all is said and done, there are no bears left, and 6.338 penguins left.

Penguins win.

That could change everything!

The Bear Riders have visible a PPsH41 submachine gun, an MP-40 machine pistol and an AK-47 assault rifle. The Penguins all appear equipped with oversized (to them) AR-15/M-16 models with collapsable stocks. They also have belts of ammunition consistant with an M60 or M240B medium machine gun, or maybe an M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, but we don't see any of these weapons actually displayed. The AR-15 is not suitable for belt feed.

Given my predisposition towards well trained infantry (see, Anglophilia), I'm going to side with the Penguins as having numbers, discipline, and longer range firepower on their side.

If Neinteen thinks bears are evil, ungodly creatures I suspect she may in fact be a Penguin (dressed up like a gibbon).

If confronted by a bear, never turn your back on one. Such a gesture may be seen as permission to mate...you know, the same thing it would mean if you were in prison.

In the year of 2006, a grizzly and polar bear mated. This is just the first step in their plan to create the ultimate killing machine known as a pizzly bear.

17.5% of half of the world's bears, or approximately 21,204, exhibit homosexual tendencies by the age of 5. This indicates whether or not they are direct descendants of Satan or just distant cousins.

Polar bears appear on ABC's LOST. Long-haired hippie Sawyer shot one in the face twice, like a true American.

Bats are really just tiny flying bears.

Polar Bears are the only species on the planet that will actively hunt humans for food
Bears are my enemy. Therefore, I'm the enemy of bears. Penguins are the enemy of the bears. By the Substitution property. I'M A PENGUIN. ZOMG!

We need to get rid of capitalist bears. Bears are the root of an over commercialized Xmas.

Penguins are nice communal creatures who quite intelligently stand around in large groups keeping eggs on their warm on their feet while the ones on the outside freeze to death.

I find it depressing that more Americans don't observe Christmas the way penguins do instead of like bears. It is mostly the fault of nature documentaries. They encourage people with their advertising.

(There. I've said what needs to be said. Most people don't realize it, but Lemonaide has been right all along)
