What do you think that means? Do you think that animals are included in the words “all flesh”? If so, wouldn’t that interpretation also mean that verse 13 declares that the end had come for the animals?
Sure. Call me a literalist.

Yep... In exactly the same way He said the end has come for all men:
Gen 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
But Noah was not corrupt - being 'perfect in his generations' (stop and think about what that means)... So too those animals He selected to be saved along with Noah. I think YHWH made the dragon too - He sure brags it up about Behemoth and Leviathon... But I don't think the lion's share of what we know as dinosaurs were his design... full of violence, and corrupted... I think the Nephilim (fallen angels and their offspring) had a good bit to do with it (see Gen 6:1-4)
