Tell us about the dinosaurs

[Linkacious]

I have some questions if I may, in reference to the flood, dinosaurs and other animals.

Is there a list anywhere of the animals that were taken on board the ark? Its just with all the species that have lived on earth I don't get how Noah would have only needed to take between 2-3000. Even with mammals there are various subclasses like placental mammals, marsupials and monotremes. Which type were taken onto the ark? If it was placental mammals then how do we have marsupials and monotremes today.

I read earlier that no sea or freshwater creatures were taken on board the ark. How do you explain the amount of sealife and freshwater animals that we have today? There are more than 30,000 species of fish alone. The specific gravity change of saltwater and the temperature drop would have wiped out pretty much everything. And if the food chain was affected too much by plankton and zooplankton die off then that would have been catastrophic. Yet we have all these species today.

And onto the dinosaurs. When you say 'types' of dinosaurs what do you mean by type? Genera? Order? Class? Species? And the ones that survived or didn't survive would have an effect on the animals today. Without Sarchosuchus or Megalodon we wouldn't have the types of sharks or crocs that we have today.
