The oil-eating bacteria helped in the removal of Gulf oil spill, but it is not that easy in Arctic region. The Arctic waters also comprise of cold-adapted, oil-consuming microbes. Though, they function at a diminished rate of metabolism in comparison to the warm water species.
In the Arctic Ocean, the ocean currents do circulate, but over a larger surface area in comparison to the Gulf of Mexico, so it would take much more years for the bacteria to come back to the similar location. The cold temperatures also influence the nature of the oil, developing it more viscous and thicker that is tougher for the bacteria to dissociate.
An oil spill in such regions takes even longer to dissociate, as the levels of oxygen in such regions go way down and bacteria cannot live in such conditions easily.
Under normal conditions, some interstitial fluids slowly escape through the epidermis via a process called epidermis/trans-epidermal water loss.
Interstitial fluids are the fluids filled between the spaces present around the cells. This fluid is present due to the leakage of substances from the blood capillaries. It also aids in transport of oxygen, nutrients and removal of waste product from the cell.
Epidermis/trans-epidermal water loss is the passive evaporation of water from the skin. This is the reason why skin sometimes may feel very dry after a person wakes up. This evaporation happens de to the presence of water vapor gradient across both sides of the skin.

Well if it could not adapt it would die. Either it would be killed by a more superior species, natural selection would take its course, or it just wouldn't be able to survive.
Dominate animals hunt the smaller and weaker animals for survival.
