How do the animals survive in antarctica?

Answer 1

They survive because their body's were built to survive the cold

Another Answer

Nothing lives in Antarctica; it's too cold. So, nothing 'survives' in Antarctica.

Many animals, including penguins, seals, skuas and petrels, come to Antarctica to breed. As soon as their young are able, all the animals leave Antarctica.

The breeding animals are equipped to deal with the extreme cold weather, and the rising sun and lack of sunsets later in the spring and summer, aid in animals' ability to breed on Antarctica's beaches and in Antarctic waters.

Answer 2

No animals live on Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain.

Sea animals that breed on Antarctica's beaches simply return to the sea to warm up: liquid water is always warmer than the ambient air on the continent. Their food chain, as well, is in the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica.

Answer 3

The only animals found on the Antarctic continent, are sea mammals and sea birds, that visit the continent during breeding season. All these animals find their food in the Southern Ocean. Survival is possible because of the layers of blubber, fat and other insulators between the animals' vital organs and the extreme polar climate.

Answer 4

Very few animals are native to Antarctica. The only notable vertebrae that live in Antarctica are seals and penguins, both of which simply use the continent to mate and rest, and sustain themselves from through the ocean. The fauna of Antarctica is largely concentrated on the coastline, as there is little in the way of food on the interior of the continent.

Answer 5

THEY SURVIVE BECAUSE THERE BODIES ARE BUILT FOR THE WEATHER AND THEIR THICK FUR KEEPS THEM WARM. ALSO THEIR BODIES CAN STORE FOOD WHICH CREATES HEAT AND ENERGY WHEN THEY NEED IT MOST.

Answer 7

Animals do not survive in Antarctica: it's too cold to support any kind of food chain. Sea animals live in the oceans around Antarctica: it is their native habitat.

Answer 8

Many animals that live in Antarctica have thick fur and padded paws that grip into the snow. The thick fur protects them from cold and they have adapted to be able to cope with it.

Answer 9

No animals 'live' in Antarctica: it's too cold to support animal life or any kind of food chain.
