Penguin Camouflage One might not think that a black and white bird would be very well camouflaged. The penguin appears to stand out from its environment. above, the animals black back resembles the dark sea. When a predator spots a penguin from below the waters, the gray white vest makes the bird look like a patch of sky. The penguin, unlike most birds, does not have hollow bones.
