I thought it had to do with constellations. Ursa Major and Minor.

    Yeah. The Greeks also didnt live anywhere near the arctic and couldn't have possibly known of the existance of polar bears there. They just named the north "the arctic", aka, the place the bear constellations point. Then, the antarctic is "the opposite of that"

    Yup, but I prefer to spend my time thinking about Antibears.

    If an antibear comes in contact with a regular bear, do they annihilate each other in a large burst of energy?

    I can't be certain, but the thought keeps me up at night. Even worse, there could be an antibear in the room with you right now. We have no idea what they look like and they may be invisible to non antipeople.

    Just think; It could have been "No Penguins" and "Penguins".

    The north pole pole has the presents of the bears. The south is the opposite, anti-polaric bears should be everywhere. Hence the mystery of bearyonic asymmetry.

    What kind of presents do bears give?

    Antarctica did get the next best thing though: leopard seals.

    So penguins are anti-bears.
