According to a BBC documentary, some penguins do winter in South America, so it should be that there might be some polar bears also vacationing in South America, so the answer might not be a positive zero.

It is more critical to ask, in the wild or would accidental
interactions in zoos matter.

In the wild, the answer is obvious, zero, because one lives
on the up-facing pole and the other lives on the down facing
pole (the poles being magnetic, they do not fall off).  From
other e-mail in this series, we already know that the way to
distinguish different poles is by whether the contacts face
up or down.

In zoos?  Who knows what odd things might have happened.
