Orca skin plays a crucial role in their survival, providing both insulation and protection. The thick layer of blubber beneath the skin helps maintain body temperature in cold ocean waters. Additionally, the smooth, hydrodynamic surface of their skin reduces drag while swimming, allowing for efficient movement. The skin also helps protect against abrasions and parasites in their marine environment.

Well, yes. Orcas have a thick layer of blubber (body fat) under their skin.
