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 gives answers to what creatures live in the Antarctic region, generally in the surrounding ocean. The Antarctic continent itself is a desert, and no animals live on Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain.
There are four species of penguins which breed on Antarctica's beaches: Adelie, Emperor, Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins. The Antarctic is not their only range.
Other birds which breed on the coastal fringes of Antarctica and the islands, visiting Antarctic waters, include various species of albatross, cormorant, fulmar, gull (kelp gull), petrel, sheathbill, skua, and the Arctic tern which migrates from the Arctic to the Antarctic every year.
Seals which live in the Southern Ocean which surrounds the continent, include the Southern Elephant seal, Crabeater, Antarctic Fur, Leopard, Ross and Weddell seals.
Whales known to frequent the Antarctic waters include the Blue whale, Fin, Humpback, Minke, Orca, Southern Right, Sei and Sperm whales.
Fish include the Antarctic cod, Patagonian toothfish and Icefish. Squid also live in the Antarctic waters.

∙ 8y agoThe only animals at the south pole itself are humans.
Penguins, skuas, and seals breed along the coast of Antarctica, but none of them venture as far inland as the South Pole. The breeding sea animals find their food in ocean waters, and the South Pole is about 750 miles south of any ocean water and about two-miles high in elevation.

∙ 8y agoThe only 'animals' you'll find at the South Pole are human animals, who live and work there temporarily with tax-payer-supported facilities.
However, sea birds and sea mammals breed on Antarctica's beaches, at least 750 miles north of the South Pole.
No animals 'live' on Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain.
