Question

why is my skin white and thick and why is there a thick layer of fat underneath​

Answer 1

Answer:

Having black and white skin is a type of adaptation known as camouflage. It is called counter-shading and makes it harder for both the predators and the prey to see penguins from all sorts of angles. The white chest of penguin protects them in the water by camouflaging them from being seen from below against the lighter sky coming through the surface of the water. Their black backs help them blend in with the darker, deeper ocean waters below them, thus protecting them from their predators. They have a thick layer of fat because it keeps them warm under such extreme cold conditions.
