The differences are vast, of course. I just came across North vs. South Poles: 10 Wild Differences, an interesting and quick read.

I liked No. 6: “Christmas cards and Coke commercials can be blamed for the misconception that polar bears and penguins live in the same frigid neighborhood. If penguins of the Antarctic and Artic-dwelling polar bears ever did cross the same frozen paths, the waddling birds would make for very easy prey for the giant bears.”

Is that what you want, Coke marketers and Christmas card-makers?
