Best Answer

No animal lives on Antarctica, but penguins are among the sea birds and sea mammals that visit the beaches to breed.

For a human, getting too close to an adult penguin during this season means that the penguin can break a human's arm with a defensive blow, meant to protect their chick from the human.
