Antarctica is considered a desert, with annual precipitation of only 200 mm (8 inches) along the coast and far less inland. Only cold-adapted organisms survive there, including many types of algae, animals (for example mites, nematodes, penguins, seals and tardigrades), bacteria, fungi, plants, and protista.
Mammals in the desert. Bighorn sheep and wild horses are probably the largest animals in the desert, then there's the burro's, the pronghorn antelope, the deer, and cats in the desert. Least we not forget the coyotes, kit foxes, and the rabbits.
