In a whale.
The thickness of the skin of an adult blue whale, as well as other large baleen whales, exceeds 10 centimeters. If we consider the subcutaneous tissue, as is done for terrestrial animals, the total thickness can exceed half a meter.
Among terrestrial animals, the hippopotamus has the thickest skin — in mature males, it can reach up to 4 centimeters in certain areas of the body.
