// $ Antarctica $  // = **__Life in Antarctica__** = Some animals in Antarctica are: penguins, whales, sharks, fish, arctic tern, and seals. Antarctica has many types of plants, some of these plants are: moss, lichens, and grass. These plants and animals have to live there for a long time to adapt to the coldness of the antarctic. Also, animals have to adapt to the icy waters of the antarctic so they can get food such as fish or weeds in the water. Scientists equip seals with video cameras to spy on sea animals living in Antarctic waters. Polar bears do not live in Antarctica. Polar bears live in the circumpular north. Fossils of ancient life are found in sedimentary rocks in Antarctica. These rocks are found under the sea, or by vast river systems on land during periods of erosion.
