What is the top predator in Antarctica?

Answer 1

The most feared predator in Antarctic waters is the leopard seal. The orca whale is also feared.

There are no animals that live on the Antarctic continent: it's too cold and there is no food chain. Marine mammals and sea birds breed on Antarctica's beaches because there are no land-based predators.

Answer 2

There are no land predators on the continent, and that is the reason why so many types of sea mammals and sea birds breed on Antarctica's beaches.

Breeding animals prey on each others' new-borns, to feed their own young.

Answer 3

That would probably be the orca, a member of the dolphin family. Though leopard seals are also excellent hunters. The orca (killer whale) is the top of the food chain. They even eat blue whales (babies/juvenile) sometimes. They are, I think, a tertiary or quandary consumer.

Answer 4

The largest land predator in Antarctica is the Emperor Penguin.

Answer 5

The top predator in Antarctica is the human animal, who is banned by law from 'harrassing' or 'annoying' sea birds and sea mammals that come to the continent's beaches to breed.

Answer 6

Probably the Killer Whale or Leopard Seal
