I forgot to remind you about marsupials. How did they get from Australasia (and Antarctica unless you accept an ancient earth and plate tectonics) to the Middle East to board the ark? How did they get back to Australasia after the disembarkation? How had they survived in Antarctica at all? (unless you accept an ancient earth and plate tectonics)
Noah had a hundred years to gather the animals into the ark. Besides, they came to him, according to Gen 6:20.
