Best Answer

There are no native wildlife animals on the Antarctic continent. It is too cold and there is no food chain.

However, many sea birds and sea mammals come to Antarctica's beaches to breed. The Southern Ocean offers liquid water -- always warmer than Antarctica's ambient air, and food for wildlife.
