Antarctica is the only continent without native reptiles or snakes.
The harsh and extreme cold climate of Antarctica, with its icy conditions and low temperatures, makes it inhospitable for reptiles to establish permanent populations.
While a few bird species and marine mammals can be found in the surrounding Southern Ocean, reptiles, including snakes, are notably absent from the Antarctic continent itself.
