- Read the paragraph and answer the following questions.
I am a penguin. I live in polar region covered by snow. My abdomen is white. My skin is thick with a layer of fat underneath. My body is spindle shaped. My wings are small. My toes are webbed. We live in flocks.
[a] Why is my skin white and thick and why is there a thick layer of fat underneath?
The white color of penguins camouflages with the snow so that they cannot be easily spotted. Their thick skin and thick layer of fat protect them from cold and keep warm.
(b) Why do we live in flocks sticking close to each other?
For warmth and comfort, penguins stick together in flocks.

Polar region
