"In North America the black bear was seen by Hearne
swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching,
like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme
a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant,
and if better adapted competitors did not already
exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of
bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more
aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger
mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a
whale."—*Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species (1859
and 1984 editions), p. 184.
