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 will answer what creatures live in the Antarctic, as no animals actually live at the South Pole, being too far inland for any animals to survive there. The Antarctic itself is a desert, and no animals live in the Antarctic desert.
