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.
No animals live in Antarctica -- on the continent -- as  Antarctica is a polar desert, and no animals can survive there:  there is no food chain.    There are two spe â¦ cies of penguins that breed on the  continent's beaches: Adelie and Emperor.
