I've always felt sorry for the marine life. The salt and fresh waters would've mixed, pretty much spelling the end of life to just about everything living in either.

BTW, that brings up an interesting point. How did the fresh water and sea water "un-mix" when the Flood was over? Shouldn't the oceans and lakes all be pretty brackish, considering all this happened only 5k years ago, or so?

That one's easy. All the salt water lakes dried up so we have salt for our table and new fresh water lakes sprouted up from normal rainfall.

And what did all the herbivores eat for the next few centuries, while all the land on earth recovered from salt poisoning? And why didn't the carnivores eat the herbivores the moment they were released (and then starve)? And how did the topsoil recover? And how many zoos with tens-of-thousands of species could manage with 8 staff (and no running water, power, waste-disposal, trucks of food-delivery)?
