Flora and fauna of ANTARTICA
In a semi-barren ice desert ,life flourishes thanks to incredible natural adaptations.
sperm whale
The sperm whale is a large mammal that can live in the Antarctic climate thanks to its body's special features
Oxygen storage
Muscles packed with myoglobin enable dive lasting over one hour. (Allowing dives)
Deep sea hunting
The world’s most powerfull biosonar allows it to see and track giant sea in the southern ocean.
Thermal insulation
Sperm whales use a thick layer of blubber (fatty tissue) up to 50 cm thick as their primary thermal insulation.
Sexual Segregation
Only adult males migrate to the Antartic to take advantage of the rich food supply, while females and calves stay in warmer tropical water to survive.
Buoyancy control
The spermaceti organ in the head contains a waxy oil that changes density with temperature, helping the whale sink or rise like a submarine with minimal effort.
Macroalgae
Macroalgae are complex acquatic organisms that have develop incredible strateges to survivre in hard marine environments,especially in cold or shadowy waters
Strong anchors
They have strong structures called holdfasts. This keeps them attacked to rocks.
Low-light photosynthesis
They are able to perform photosynthesis with very little light. This allows them to survive in winter.
Slow Growth
They have a very slow metabolism. This helps them for many years and create a stable environment for other animals.
Natural antifreeze
This plants produce sugar alcohols and salts. These substances lower the freezing point of their cells.
