Many animals breed on the land, but none live on the continent.

There are many fish and other animals living under the sea ice, including several whale species and seals of various species. .

The Southern ocean biota is much more dense and diverse than the land biota, due to the quantity of nutrients made available by glacial scouring and erosion.
