Why aren't polar bears in the south pole?

They aren't in the South Pole because it is in the Antarctic where it is cold, where they can survive and live. So if they did live there they wouldn't live very long. Think about if you lived in the Antarctic as a polar bear but you were still you, you would freeze.Further information:In fact, there are no animals that live at the South Pole. Many people consider that the South Pole is the same as the Antarctic, but in fact the South Pole is just a theoretical point in Antarctica. This question will answer what creatures live in the Antarctic, as no animals actually live at the South Pole, being too far inland for any animals to survive there. The Antarctic itself is a desert, and no animals live in the Antarctic desert.
