Question

In order to stay buoyant, some aquatic animals have a thick layer of fat. Where do you think seals store their fat?

• A. Under their skin
• B. In their livers
• C. In their tails
• D. In their flippers

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Under their skin

Seals are semi-aquatic marine mammals. They are well adapted for diving to great depths. They have a layer of fat, or blubber, under the skin to keep warm in the cold water, and other than the walrus, all species of the seal family are covered in fur.
