What are some of the species of animals that live in Antarctica?

Answer:

Many animals live on the land, including seals of various species.

There are many fish and other animals living under the ice, including several whale species.

The ocean biota is much more dense and diverse, due to the quantity of nutrients made available by glacial scouring and erosion.
