No animals have been discovered at the exact South Pole as it has only been visited a few times. There are a number of insects and a few varieties of penguins that have been discovered elsewhere on Antarctica (closer to the water's edge).

The first animal discovered at the South Pole was a small wingless midge, a type of fly, in the 1980s. Research conducted in Antarctica has since revealed a diverse range of microscopic organisms and simple invertebrates that have adapted to extreme cold conditions.
