A penguin's belly is white to help them camouflage while swimming. When viewed from below, their white bellies blend with the light coming from the surface, making it difficult for predators to spot them.
they are black and white because preditors from the bottom see white when they look up and a penguins belly is white. Then preditors from the top see black and penguins backs are BLACK
The name "penguin" comes from the Welsh term "pen gwyn," which means "white head." This likely refers to the white patches on some penguin species' heads. However, most penguins are actually black and white.
When a penguin is in the water, it swims usually with its belly down, and back up. Its back is black, so that to fish and predators who are above the penguin, the penguin's dark back blends in with the darkness of the depths of the ocean. For fish and predators who view the penguin from below, the penguin's white belly blends in with the brightness of the sky and the water's surface.
Well, darling, penguins do indeed have belly buttons. Just like every other bird and mammal on this planet, they were once attached to their mothers via an umbilical cord. So, next time you see a penguin waddling around, just remember they've got a cute little belly button hidden under all those feathers.
thats how god made them.

No penguin species has a black belly and black back. The white belly with darker back is an environmental adaptation. The white front makes it harder for predators to see penguins when they are swimming.
Not all adult sea birds have a white belly. Many of the birds found in and around the sea do have a white belly including most seagulls, penguins, and many shore birds.
Nothing... Unless they lie on their backs so their white belly camouflages with the ice.

Sliding
It is called tobogganing when penguins slide on their belly. =0)

There really isn't that much difference from a real penguin. A cartoon will be kind of round and have a white belly. Penguins will also be short and stalky with an orange beak.
