    Is it really impossible for polar bears to dive into the water and catch fish or at least adapt to that method?

    They don't need to... But hypothetically they could. But it would take so much time that climate changes would be doing severe changes that could mess that up too.

    did you ever catch a fish with your hands diving in the open sea?
    even though polar bears swim and dive a lot better than humans they're NOT adapted to fishing. They eat large mammals (seals, wales) and their carrion

    Since adapting requires generations of internal work, maybe you can teach them...?

    Adaptation! Why didn't they think of that? Sometimes polar bears are so stupid...

    Hehehe... It's a sort of modern Lamarckism... Unfortunately evolution doesn't work in the "i want therefore it happens" kind of way...
