Dinosaurs were wiped out by Noah’s flood?..”

The term “dinosaur” was not used until 1840’s

God saw fit to save those animals he deemed.
Any “prehistoric” animals that were taken aboard may not have survive the harsh environmental changes after the flood.

The lush green and warm world became one of changing extreme climates (ice age) and deserts (which by the way, were well watered in times past -few 1000 years ago)

First, contrary to popular belief, the Bible does not teach that Noah took aboard the ark two of every species of animal on Earth. The Hebrew term used in the Flood account (as in the Creation account) to distinguish animals is min (translated “kind” 10 times in Genesis 1 and seven times in Genesis 6-7). The Bible was written long before man invented the Linnaean classification system. The “kinds” of animals that Adam named on the sixth day of Creation and that accompanied Noah on the ark were likely very broad. As Henry Morris observed: “[T]he created kinds undoubtedly represented broader categories than our modern species or genera, quite possibly approximating in most cases the taxonomic family” -1984, p. 129,

What ‘kind’ do marsupials belong to and how come they only exist in Australasia?

So Noah took two members of the Felidae family on the Ark, and from them, in 4,000 years, we got the lions of Africa, the ocelots of South America, the cougar of North America, the flat-headed cat of Malaysia, the Canadian lynx, and the domestic cat of ancient Egypt and your living room? Is that what you think happened? Do you accept the idea that lions and domestic cats are separate species? Doesn't that mean that they crossed the "species barrier" that's supposed to be inviolable?
