Did you know... that adaptations of the wildlife of Antarctica(icefish pictured) to survive the cold include growing blubber, having antifreeze in their blood, and digesting themselves to a juvenile state?

I know that humans are not wildlife but might it be worth putting a sentence or two that humans do live on the continent, albeit not on a permanent basis? Not worth its own sub-title on the page, just something tacked in with the mammals? If no-one objects I'll add a tiny bit over the weekend. Cls14 (talk) 08:54, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
They're certainly mammals but are they wild? I expect some of them are! Thincat (talk) 16:07, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A note on humans is probably better fitted to the Conservation subsection, as the other sections generally don't dwell on introduced species ;) CMD (talk) 18:08, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Even Frank Wild was introduced, though in his case introduced rather often. Thincat (talk) 19:15, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
