Okay, I think 1+2+3+4 = 10 different combinations.

It would be 5!/(2!3!) which is 120/(2x6) = 120/12 = 10
(assuming the bears are indistinguishable from each other and so are the penguins)

First off, Penguins and bears don't live together. Penguins live at the South Pole.
Sounds like a trick question to me
