Did Noah have sharks, whales, and dolphins on the Ark ?

How did Koala Bears migrate from Australia to the Middle East when they can only live in a highly specialized envronment in a restricted area of Australia?

They didn't! Its a Bronze Age religulous myth! Of course it makes no sense.

So, was the water that covered the Earth fresh or salt? Can salt water fish, molluscs, starfish live in fresh water? And what about the other way about? Can frogs live in salt water? What is the fate of forests when under kilometres of water for the best part of a year? How about grasslands, savannah etc. Dead, rotting grass and leaves. What did the herbivores eat when they got off the ark? And seeing there were only two of each "unclean beast", then what did the carnivores eat? Where did the water come from? Where did it go? If it came from below ground, it should have been hot. If it fell from a watery shell about the Earth, then why didn't it get hot for the same reason as space capsules do? Why didn't Noah and all his family and all the animals get cooked? Condensation of a layer of water from vapour in the atmosphere would have released masses of heat. Which ever way you look at it, Noah is broiled alive.

I believe that they were kept alive in the flood waters. But it is possible that God would have included these types in the ark, because of the pollution of the dead things that were going to inhabit the earth during the flood. It does tell us that God had Noah to bring 2 of everything into the ark, except the animals that were to be used for sacrificial offerings. Then it tells us how many Noah was supposed to take of each one.

How did Noah get the animals in North America that couldn't fly across the ocean? Especially when he didn't know it existed.

The story is obviously a fairy tale.

Why, indeed! He wasn't instructed to put water into any of the ark's compartments.

Genesis 6 and 7 both itemize the kinds of animals Noah was to take:

Male and female they will be. Of the flying creatures according to their kinds and of the domestic animals according to their kinds, of all moving animals of the ground according to their kinds, two of each will go in there to you to preserve them alive. And as for you, take for yourself every sort of food that is eaten; and you must gather it to yourself, and it must serve as food for you and for them.”

"Of every clean beast you must take to yourself by sevens, the sire and its mate; and of every beast that is not clean just two, the sire and its mate; also of the flying creatures of the heavens by sevens, male and female, to preserve offspring alive on the surface of the entire earth."

No exclusively water-dwelling animals are mentioned.

No, they swam in the waters during and after the flood. That is why there are so many fishes in the sea.

I asked a question related to this:

Pretty much, people believe that the fish swam behind the Ark. If you want to read the answers and enlighten yourself in whatever people talked about in my question, I invite you.

By why did he do it? The only explanation is that he didn't.

I believe species didn't include waterlife. Sorry! They had to float alongside the boat.

Well he would have had to have some marine animals on there. I'm guessing giant salt water tanks because the salt levels in the water would be far too low.

He only collected animals with feet. Also alot of animals were left behind as well.
