Correct answer: Countershading

Countershading is a highly effective form of camouflage where an animal's back is dark and its belly is light. For a swimming penguin, a predator looking down from above sees the dark back blending with the dark ocean depths, while a predator looking up from below sees the white belly blending with the bright, sunlit surface.
