There is no actual land at the North Pole itself, but the area has plenty of Arctic ice. Many people consider that the North Pole is the same as the Arctic, but in fact the North Pole is only a small section of the Arctic. For the purposes of this question, creatures of both the North Pole and Arctic will be included, as no animals actually live on the North Pole.

Polar bears are the dominant land animal on the Arctic ice, and while they generally do not travel as far north as the North Pole (due to lack of food), tracks on the North Pole ice have apparently been recorded. Polar bears often feed on seals, which are amphibious, meaning they are mammals that live in water and on land. Therefore, it can be assumed that seals are also found in the Arctic regions - particularly Harp Seals. Northern Fur Seals are found within the Arctic but also not at the North Pole.

There are many marine and semi-aquatic mammals in the Arctic Ocean surrounding the North Pole. These include the Beluga whale, Killer whale, narwhal and walrus.

Zooplankton are tiny animals found in seas everywhere, with some being adapted to the icy waters of the Arctic and North Pole. Shrimp and amphipods are also found near the North Pole.

Migratory birds that visit the Arctic include the Arctic tern, Snow goose and puffin. Other birds observed near the North pole are the Snow Bunting, Northern Fulmar and Black-legge Kittiwake.

Other mammals that live in the regions of the Arctic where land is found, but not at the North Pole, include the ermine, caribou, wolverine, reindeer, short-tailed weasel, musk ox, ermine, Dall sheep, Arctic wolf, Arctic fox and Arctic hare. The Greenland Shark swims in the icy Arctic waters, and the Snowy owl can be found on the fringes of the Arctic circle.

Contrary to common misconception, there are no penguinsat the North Pole.
