THE ANTARCTIC GUIDE
There are hundreds of different animal species in Antarctica, including 46 species of bird, 10 cetaceans (including killer whales and humpback whales), 6 species of seal and 7 Antarctic penguin species.
There are also at least 235 species in Antarctica’s oceans, from mud-dwelling worms to sea cucumbers, sea snails and sea birds.
There are no trees or shrubs in Antarctica, and there are only two flowering plants: Antarctic hair grass (Deschampsia antarctica) and Antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis).
But there are over 1000 species of fungi, 700 species of algae and 20-odd species of macro-fungi. You can also find around 100 species of mosses, 25 species of liverworts, and 300 to 400 species of lichens in Antarctica. And living in these micro-forests are 67 species of insect!
