Already asked Statler for this list but he didn't produce it. Just kept spouting that there were not as many as there are today and simply avoided the question.
Here is a more rational explanation of what animals may have been on the ark (presuming it existed at all).

Its a nice take which could be believable in that its a real story that got inflated beyond all proportion by the time it was added to the bible.
However, this description is an epic fail in terms of obeying gods command for two of every animal.
Here is some waffle on kinds vs species. Amazing how they propose that some desert tribesman could have built something so big, something that big wasn't built by us until the last century or so....

Its really funny how they talk about there being limited "kinds" when referring to land creatures, but then are happy to talk about there being thousands of species when talking about aquatic animals.
And can you imagine how he could have employed all the people necessary to build such a big ship?
Quote:Worker: So, you want us build a big ship for you Mr. Noah?
Noah: Yes, that's right. God gave me the specifications.
Worker: Yeah, right, whatever you say sir. As long as you have the money. I presume you have enough money for this project, i mean, you don't seem to be overloaded with Gold or precious gems... And anyway why do you need this ship?
Noah: Because God is going to send a big flood that will kill everything on this planet except for me, a few friends, and a whole bunch of animals i will put on board.
Worker: What? So you want us to build you this ship, then God is going to kill us all?
Noah: No, not all, me and my family and close friends get to live.
Worker: Screw you mister, build your own damn ship then. I'm off to build one for myself and my family. I'm also changing religion to worship Baal, Yahweh can go f**k himself.

Highly amusing take on the ark story... it should be added to the bible...

Some Jewish take on it (scroll down to the inmates of the ark).

According to this it was the animals who built the ark! You see, Christianity isn't the most insane religion in the world!!!
And here is a completely terrible analysis.

Still, at the end of the day, no list to be found anywhere.
A finite number of monkeys with a finite number of typewriters and a finite amount of time could eventually reproduce 4chan.
