Apparently the lion turtles are who gave out bending, but what happened to people learning bending from animals. Like earth from moles, fire from dragons, air from bison and water from the moon (not technically an animal).

Also if the lion turtles stopped giving out bending, how did people still have it later.

    I believe the lion turtles gave them the ability to bend, but the animals and spirits taught people to bend. For example, humans can walk and talk, but without other humans teaching us to walk and talk we wouldn't be able to do it as efficiently. By studying the moon and the dragons and such, humans were able to learn how to control their bending.

    People still have bending today because it was passed down through genetics. If a person's parent was a bender, they have a chance of being a bender themselves. Like how Aang and Katara's kids are an airbender, water bender, and a non-bender because their parents were an airbender, waterbender, and one of their grandparents was a non-bender.
