I think it was either seals or whales.
Mostly whales and seals
The mountain supports a great diversity of plant and animal life at various elevations of its slopes. Melting snow provides pure water for the fertile soil and for the human and animal populations.
This question is kind of vague, so I'm going to assume you are talking about animals which live in Antarctica, which are and not limited to:Polar BearsWhalesPenguinsSealsSnow HareKrillArctic Tern
Differences between Antarctica and New Zealand: * Antarctica is not a country, but a continent with claimed territories or dependencies; New Zealand is a country made up of a collection of islands. * Antarctica has a very harsh, cold and dry climate, therefore has only two native plants that are found only on the northernmost part of the peninsula,and animal life there is dependent on the sea or on flight to areas with other food sources; New Zealand has a varied but temperate climate with many complex plant and animal ecosystems that vary throughout its climatic and geological regions, and has much productive farmland and forests. * Antarctica is at or relatively close to the South Pole; New Zealand is at or relatively close to the parallel of latitude 45 south, halfway between the equator and the South Pole. * Antarctica has no permanent population or residents, and the number of people in residence varies from about 1,000 in winter to 5,000 in summer; New Zealand has a permanent population of about 4,200,00. * Antarctica has a land area of more than 14 000 000km²; New Zealand has a land area of about 270 000km².
Amphibians are found in the desert but are usually only seen after a heavy summer rain. They spend most of the year underground. At that time they can be quite numerous in certain areas. Another animal that is often the symbol of the desert, at least in the United States, would be a rattlesnake. While they do inhabit the desert, they remain hidden most of the time. One can spend years hiking in the desert and never encounter a rattlesnake. They see you but you rarely see them.
You may be thinking of whales and seals, since there are no animals on Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain.
No, at least no native human populations. But it does, however, have a native population of animal species called the emperor penguin.
There is no official animal for the continent of Antarctica.
Tens of thousands of sea mammals and sea birds visit Antarctica's beaches to breed annually. Animal populations are only counted in accessible locations, meaning that most of Antarctica's coast line is not monitored.
we can conserve animal life in Antarctica by not killing animals
The largest animal you will find today in Antarctica is a tall human. Antarctica's too cold to support animal life and there is no food chain there.
No animal lives on the continent. No animal that breeds on Antarctica's beaches is on the endangered list.
Antarctica is not a country, so does not have a 'national' animal, currency, a flag, stamps and so forth.
All the sea birds that breed on Antarctica's beaches do not die from being in Antarctica.
As far as animal life, only microscopic animals (such as mites and worms) and insects exist in Antarctica.

A lot.
