If you mean the black and white, then it is called counter-shading. Counter-shading is whne an animal is dark on the top and light on the bottom. It is dark on the top, so when an animal or person is looking at it from above, it blends into the bottom of the sea or ocean or lake, or whatever body of water. It is light so when an animal or person is looking up at it, it blends into the sunlight. It is a kind of defense i suppose.

∙ 10y agoThe sharks skin is not like other fish. They do not have scales. Instead, they have dermal denticles. They look like tiny shark teeth . Sharks get more of these in their skin as they get older. That makes their skin very rough. Their skin is so rough that in some cultures they use dried shark skin for sand paper. The body of the shark is shape is made for speed!
