The only land animal that exists on Antarctica is the tiny wingless midge. It is about 12mm long (1.2cm) and it looks a bit like a fly.
It is too cold for anything else to live on Antarctica permanently. The birds and other marine animals that come to the Antarctic continent do not spend their whole life here.
Although there are not many animals on land, there are however plenty in the sea.
The animals in the sea have adaptations that make them strong enough to withstand the extremely cold temperatures of the Antarctic region.
