Since the South Pole is located on top of more than 10,000 feet of ice, and is inland about 750 Km, there are no animals that live there, except human scientists and humans in support of science. They work at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station. Term of service is limited to 12 months.

Why don't polar bears live in the southern hemisphere?
Because they evolved from brown bears, and this species is found only in the northern hemisphere. Also polar bears are primarily aquatic feeders - feeding on and around ice floes - and the South Pole is a LONG ways from any open water or ice pack. Antarctica is HUGE. In theory polar bears might survive in the seas around Antarctica, but it's not their native habitat and there is much less ice pack than in the Arctic because most of the ice is deposited on the land mass of Antarctica.
