Best Answer

the polar bear has black skin and white fur. the black color absorbs heat, but the white color reflects heat. so when the polar bear gives off heat from its body, the white fur reflects the heat back to the skin and the black skin absorbs the heat, keeping the bear warmer.

Same thing goes to the penguin.
