Answer:

The polar bear

Their adaptations include: a white appearance - as camouflage from prey on the snow and ice. thick layers of fat and fur - for insulation against the cold. a small surface area to volume ratio - to minimise heat loss.

Penguins' adaptations for water include physical changes for swimming well and solid bones that help it to stay under water. Some land adaptations include blubber, waterproof feathers, a brood pouch, and huddling together to stay warm.

Explanation:

Polar bear:

Fur even grows on the bottom of their paws, which protects against cold surfaces and provides a good grip on ice. The bear's stark white coat provides camouflage in surrounding snow and ice. But under their fur, polar bears have black skin—the better to soak in the sun's warming rays.

Penguins:

Penguins have webbed feet for powerful swimming. Their bodies are streamlined to reduce drag in water. Their wings, shaped like flippers, also help them "fly" underwater at speeds up to 15 mph.
