Reptiles are not found in Antarctica. This continent, characterized by its icy and inhospitable environment, lacks the suitable conditions for reptiles to survive. With its freezing temperatures, extensive ice sheets, and limited terrestrial habitats, Antarctica is largely devoid of reptilian life. Instead, the continent is home to a variety of marine species, including seals, penguins, and various seabirds, which have adapted to its polar climate. While reptiles thrive in other continents such as Australia, South America, and parts of Europe, Antarctica remains a unique ecosystem dominated by cold-adapted organisms. Despite its harsh conditions, Antarctica supports a diverse array of life in its surrounding Southern Ocean, where marine reptiles such as seals and certain species of penguins can be found, but true reptiles are notably absent from its terrestrial habitats.
