Since no animal lives on the Antarctic continent, breeding occurs when the sea animals -- birds and mammals -- can access the continent's beaches. This usually occurs in late winter, August, September and October.
Breeding season is over when the fledglings can feed themselves and the sea ice begins to freeze over, making the continent inaccessible. This is usually January, February and March.
