It is the only mammal to live all year round in Antarctica

When temperatures start to drop, other species of mammals (elephant seals, killer whales, etc.) migrate to warmer regions. This one stays. The Weddell seal is the only mammal that lives year-round in Antarctica. With thick fur and a large layer of fat, it has adapted to extreme temperatures.
