Antarctica has lots of different types of animals such as
leopard seals, emperor penguins, killer whales and many more.
Emperor penguins are a special type of penguin because they are the largest penguins. Did you know? Emperor penguins can only lay one egg. When the mother penguin goes to hunt for food the father penguin is in charge of taking care of the egg. Emperor penguins can live up to 20 years and can weigh up to 30kg to 40kg and eat fish, krill and squid.
Leopard seals are considered the most ferocious seals in Antarctica. Did you know? Female leopard seals are larger than male leopard seals. Female leopard seals live up to 26 years and male leopard seals live a little less. Adult leopard seals eat penguins, fish, squid, seabirds, krill and smaller seals. Young leopard seals mostly eat krill.
Killer whales only have one predator that is mankind. Did you know? Killer whales can live for 100 years. Killer whales eat fish and squid. Sometimes they eat seals and other whales and can grow up to 6500kg. Killer whales can breed every 5 years.
In conclusion Antarctica has lots of interesting animals and it is survival of the fittest for the animals that live in Antarctica. In the animals I’ve researched Killer whales live the longest
