habitat?

They tried to introduce Canadian lynx in Colorado, trying to replace a bobcat that humans had hunted to extinction, and wondered why they wouldn't take.
'Cause they're Canadian, eh!
You could probably succeed in transplanting if you had time and money, but it would take a lot of both.
Polar bears go back to the same den every time they birth, the seasons would throw them off, the different ecosystems would drive them batty. But both species are successful in zoo environments, so it can be done. If you can get a polar bear to survive in a zoo in Australia, you can likely get one to survive in Antarctica.

Don't you mean Arctic and Antarctic? They would probably but you would have to ensure ALL the bears were removed.Polar bears would eat penguins...if they could take the wrapper off.

No.
You have to move the animals they feed on too. The weather may suit them just fine, but maybe the Earth's rotation or magnetism may affect their body clocks...causing them to be disoriented and not be able to survive naturally.

No because polarbears love seal and will become confused by the different migration times of the seals.

penguins would but bears wouldn't: they eat mammals as well as fish and there are none at the south pole.

Nope, there are completely different gases and types of fish, they would choke or starve.
