How long does a dog survive in antarctica?
No dogs live in Antarctica -- no animal lives there: it's too cold and there is no food chain. In years past, humans took dogs to Antarctica and fed them, tended to their health and kept them alive. Dogs are not allowed in Antarctica now, because they can transmit diseases to breeding marine mammals. As well, dogs' natural instinct is to pursue and thus terrorize other animals.
